Troy, edit the uuencoded file so the first line says:

begin 644

instead of whatever begin statement it has now.  My guess is that your
present file has four digits there.  The uudecode program gets
confused by a four digit number.  I have reported the problem to the
author David Kirschbaum and expect an update shortly.
