Error -39 is an End of File error.

You will need to use BinHex whenever Stuffit refuses to decode a file.  As
I understand it, there are differences between the algorithm's used in the
two programs.

Stuffit will decode most files encoded by BinHex 4.0, and visa-versa; however
many files cannot be cross-decoded.  I don't know the specifics, but the
encoded files will look different if encoded by Stuffit rather than by
BinHex 4.0, which I believe is also different from BinHex 5.0.
