I've run into a recurrent bug with multipart uuencoded files from the
net.  The last line appears truncated at the beginning.  Here is a
sample from the recent posting of turtle.arc -- this is the last part of
the fifth file, turtle.uue:

M1S 5 /#;B]'P=[_=&3\ URT $3 $DIW<:.'>,@_T1D\ )" 5:'$1O^WH Q$0e
M*$#<*0 * :$"!@< *V 2 , "X=T"%0$7O>T"FOX"]OWH%3$5)C$59WT5%7$5e
EV! 0-6#?70$) 0$ -T#<.&#?B69P * #QY3JJ,X#V/ 0*  : #$5e
 e
end

I've had other encoded files which were also perfect except for the last
line.  I haven't had a chance to test this, but has anyone else
encountered it?  Also, if anyone else has a decent last part of turtle,
please send it to me.
