Supposing SIGMA = { 0, 1}
If the probability P(0) is very high and P(1) is close to ZERO arithmetic
coding doesn't seem to work !! 
I mean supposing the string is pure ZEROES then arithmetic coding interval
will decrease very slowly. This would result in a very long encoding. On
the other hand the entropy of this data is very low!!
Any help ??

Thanks.
