Base64 vs Hex encoding

[Ludwig Seitz]

Hash: SHA1
Is there a reason why this works with a HexEncoded public key in a string:

StringSource pubkey(pubkeystring, true, new HexDecoder);
RSAES_OAEP_SHA_Encryptor pub(pubkey);
while this doesn't work with a Base64Encoded public key in a string:

StringSource pubkey(pubkeystring, true, new CryptoPP::Base64Decoder);
RSAES_OAEP_SHA_Encryptor pub(pubkey);
The programm just aborts at the second line with the Base64 encoding

Am I missing something here?

Regards,

Ludwig Seitz
