The only upstream contact is <bug-gnu-utils> mailing list where [sharutils] must be specified in subject.

I confirm this is new bug in uudecode.

Comment 2 Petr Pisar 2013-01-21 10:16:10 UTC
Ok, I have forwarded the bug report. It will show up in archive <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2013-01/threads.html> after moderator approves the post.

There is a fix for this in a pre-release.  Until I am replaced,
"bkorb" can also be used as an address....

This is not the only problem. There is bug `-o -' writes into ./- instead to FD 1.
