Package: sharutils
Version: 1:4.2-8

I recently had cause to use uuencode from a terminal, and found that its
response to EOF is odd.  Specifically, a single ^D had no effect, two in a
row caused it to flush the current output line, and only if I issued three
in a row did it actually accept an EOF.  While this is mildly annoying from
a terminal, I can imagine it being a serious annoyance from, say, a tape. 
At the least, this behaviour should be documented in uuencode(1).

Here's a sample of the behaviour:

--------8<--------
wraith:~$ uuencode foo  
begin 664 foo
This is some text to be fed into uuencode.
If I press ^D, it should end the file.
