John --

You're right... :)  I missed the bytes at the head of your translation
table.

But I also I grabbed the wrong snippet of code; this was the one that I
wanted:

+      } else if (sixBit == 66) {
+        throw new Error("bad character \'" + c + "\' in base64 value");

This one should let the character go (p. 25):

  if (sixBit == 66) byteShift--;

Cheers,

Paul
