PGP5/gpg armoring

Okay, here's another example that may explain the problem better or may
be a different problem:

    [thorin:~] 11:43:53am 183 % cat test1.txt
    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    [thorin:~] 11:44:01am 184 % gpg --clearsign test1.txt

    [thorin:~] 11:45:08am 185 % pgpv test1.txt.asc -o test1a.txt
    Opening file "test1a.txt" type text.
    Opening file "/dev/null" type text.
    [thorin:~] 11:45:41am 186 % diff test1.txt test1a.txt
    1,5c1,5
    < 1
    < 2
    < 3
    < 4
    < 5
    ---
    > 1
    > 2
    > 3
    > 4
    > 5
    \ No newline at end of file

In short, it's losing the last character if it's a newline.

(It doesn't seem to lose it if you're naughty and make a file with no
closing newline.)
