That makes no sense to me. The data wasn't in EBCDIC or ASCII, it's a 
friggin TIFF file.  The WHOLE PURPOSE of base64 is to preserve the TIFF 
file so it never gets translated to begin with.

http_xlate() doesn't change the size of the data!!!  Running it should 
have absolutely no effect on the number of bytes in the stream file!!!!

Frankly, Bruce, you need to start by learning the difference between 
text data and binary data.  As long as you keep trying to treat the data 
as text, you're going to REALLY struggle with getting your image to be 
correct.
