Last time I checked (which admittedly is quite a while ago), Pan's Yenc
decoder is faulty. It just concatenates the binary parts it finds, with
no regard to the byte ranges that are indicated for them. If the 3 parts
have overlapping ranges, Pan would mis-decode them. (If a part is
missing, it doesn't insert an empty block with 0s either).
