Hmm.  I just wrote a very simple test case for the Base64 implementation which
Jon nabbed from Tomcat (I found the attached one a bit too abstract to follow
easily).  I was unable to reproduce the failure, even by appending whitespace to
the end of the line (you can try it out yourself with `ant test`):

<http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/xml-rpc/src/test/org/apache/xmlrpc/Base64Test.java?rev=1&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup>

Vjekoslav, can you tell me what the correct method of handling whitespace in
base64-encoded data is?  The closest thing that I found to a RFC on that is
<http://www.zvon.org/tmRFC/RFC3156/Output/chapter3.html> -- it recommends
stripping trailing whitespace.  Is this what Apache's implementation should be
doing?  Or should it collapse all lines of base64-encoded data together, then
decode that?
