New issue 456 by s... at ...3142...: Unbase64() Append Extra Byte "\0"  to  
the Result
http://code.google.com/p/gambas/issues/detail?id=456

1) Describe the problem.

Given a file, say "a.jpg", we encoded it using base64 to a string "str",  
and then decode that string "str" again, the decoded string is not  
identical to original content of "a.jpg"

Upon inspection, UnBase64 added an extra Byte "\0" to the end of the string

2) GIVE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATIONS (if they are appropriate):

Version: 3.4.1
Revision:
Operating system: Linux
Distribution: Netrunner (KUbuntu based)
Architecture:  x86_64
GUI component: QT4
Desktop used:  KDE

3) Provide a little project that reproduces the bug or the crash.
see attached project

4) If your project needs a database, try to provide it, or part of it.
N/A

5) Explain clearly how to reproduce the bug or the crash.

1. read a binary file (>1k) into a string
2. encode it using base64 and then decode it back
3. the decoded string is not identical to the original


6) By doing that carefully, you have done 50% of the bug fix job!

IMPORTANT NOTE: if you encounter several different problems or bugs, (for
example, a bug in your project, and an interpreter crash while debugging
it), please create distinct issues!
