R. David Murray added the comment: It might be better to add a character: that will produce garbage as the last byte, but that could serve as an alert that something is wrong...and we don't know if the extra character is at the end or at the beginning of the base64 encoded string, or if, as in this case, it is multiple extra characters which will produce trailing garbage anyway. The example in hand is, I would guess, by far the most likely scenario.
