	It doesn't mention the source file if a destination file
	is to be overridden, nor does it mention the line where
	an out-of-range characters occurs.

Fix: Patch:

But your patch does not print the exact line number in the file, only
an offset from the 'begin' line. It does not help very much when the
input file contains several uuencoded files.
