Hello there,
using a small tool I wrote a while back, it's possible to see that the
actuall differences are in the encoding of the last few bytes of
cleartext.
I've copied the decoding tool to http://youam.net/devel/rfc1952-dec
Attached is the difference of the decoded files from
<20111208102738.ga7...@afflict.kos.to>.
As to why this happens: no idea (yet)
Uli
