in thread Segmenation Fault in IO::Uncompress:Bunzip2

It doesn't actually dump to the screen perl open handler seems to be doing some magic that other programs can't seem to do. I know the exact line so I tried doing head -n 44816 FILE.txt | tail -n 1 and the whole thing stalls with 100% cpu usage. (Uncompressed file is 2GB and 500k+ lines btw)

Contents of the line seem to be really messed up, but I'm finding a lot of these corruptions and I need to just try and get past them back to the real content.
