I have modified mimencode so that it dumps what it reads from stdin in
a file. I have then diffed the file and the output in debug buffer. It
seems  that small  chunks are  simply  discarded. The  error seems  to
happen every 50 lines of base64 data.

I have read through the  code and seen the variable tramp-chunksize. I
have tried the code given but my system did not seem to be affected. I
have  tried with higher  values too,  no change.  However, when  I set
tramp-chunk-size to 2000, all is working correctly.

This is a bit odd in regards to the previous tests, but this works.
