I tracked this turkey down last night, the hard way. It turns out that if
you strip off the entire header of the binhex file, so the first line starts
with ":", you'll get the error -39. If you leave the "(Unpack this file..."
or a blank line in front of it, it works fine. Evidently there's a little
problem in the "strip the header" code of 1.40a that fails if there's
no header. Oops.
