My roommate downloaded some GIFs from compuserve, and used a null modem
cable to transfer them from his Toshiba laptop to my //gs and the Macintosh
of the guy across the hall... no problems anywhere.

Try bloading the first few bytes of the file ("BLOAD FOO.GIF, A$2000, L$10")
and see if it has a GIF header (should be something like "GIF87a").  If not,
scan ahead in the file (bload the first few thousand bytes) and see if you
can find this header; it may be that you have some garbage at the start
of the file.
