Ok, but the version of uudeview I looked at (0.5.20) has the same
problem still. For decoding yEncoded files, I recommend ydec, which I
found here: http://www.yenc.org/download/ydec-schellenberger.zip
That version handles this issue properly.

I probably modified it slightly to get it to compile on 64 bits Unix.

Time to update it then! Too bad that the original $Id$ tags are not
available, that would make it easier to merge in the Pan changes. Now
one will have to guess which differences are Pan's (I've seen two so far
I think; they are marked as a change for Pan) and which (most of them
probably) are uulib's progess. 

Alhough... hm... what I see now suggests that the originally imported
version was also called 0.5pl20... but the differences seem too much
then, to me. I'm getting confused now.
