The following command:
===
zcat /usr/ports/distfiles/xdvi/950923.02.Z | uudecode
===
works fine on a 2.2R system but dies with:
===
uudecode:
input file: stdin
encoded file: xdvi-pl17+markpage+toc+printdvi+paper.patch.gz
character out of range: [33-96]
===
on a -current (from yesterday) system.
Looking at the uudecode source, this change seems to be the difference.

Better check for detecting header line. A header line must match
"begin [0-7]* *". Now `begin with, ' is not a header line.
Do a boundary check for body characters. Characters less than 33 or
greater than 96 are out of range. If characters are out of range
uudecode print a error message and die.
===
Is this check really necessary? This file used to decode fine with
the old decoder. Besides, I can't figure out for the life of myself
which character it's barfing on.

Seems like everything between the "begin" line and "end" are in range....
