I had the same problem, when getting this version, and so this might be
relevant to you.

I got it indirectly, and had a uuencoded-compressed-tar file...

It turned out that most uudecoders were not uudecoding it correctly. The
best uudecoder I have found is in 'nn' (surprise surprise ?). I slaped a
false article header on, used "nn <file>" and ":decode" in nn. Uncompressed
and untar'ed fine !

The hard question for me, is now that I have nn 6.3.10, do I install that
or wait for the new 'posted' version. The answer depends on how long it
will be before the new version is posted.

  Richard,
