When I tried to extract the posting "1.5.0 #33 - test", the following
three 'binary' files were included directly in the shar file:
	t10a, t10b, and t11b.

The problem may be in the shar program ast used (it could
have uuencoded the binary file), or the makepost script (it could
have excluded 'binary' files).

After I manually edited out the binary files, I was able to unshar the files 
successfully.

Also, does anyone know why the following files were zero length
in the 1.5.0 crc list?

00000      0 ./fs/proto.h
00000      0 ./kernel/proto.h
00000      0 ./mm/proto.h
