There is a problem with BinHex in that it will not always decode binhex'd 
files correctly. I have changed to always use StuffIt's binhex decode 
instead of the BinHex application. I've seen reference to this problem 
before but do not remember the details. However, I'll bet that the 
Disinfectant file was not binhex encoded with the BinHex application.
