I haven't a clue.
But if I were in your place, I'd find out very quickly by placing a
breakpoint immediately after LoadFromFile(), and checking that the
string is as expected.  If it is short, then, no, it isn't suitable.
If it is always the correct length, then the problem lays further on
in your code.
If the Load length is correct, then verify in subsequent steps, that
the correct length is passed to the decoder.

That is basic debugging. Verify at each step, that the data is
correct. When the data is incorrect, backtrack until it is correct,
then see why the next step corrupts it.
