If you're using something earlier than 5G33 (I think -- maybe 5G40), this is a
known bug -- you can work around it by giving an explicit "unpacking"
parameter that matches the file. That is, if it's a binhexed file, say "with
unpacking", if it's not, as in this case, say "without unpacking". If you're
using 5G33 or later, we've got a problem.
