Problem with ][GIF

I've got a problem with ][GIF 1.0.  It crashes when I attempt to convert a GIF 
file.  Usually it manages to display a line or two of graphics before crashing 
and dumping me into the monitor.  I am aware that there is much potential for 
error during transfer of the files, so I have already read the FAQs for
alt.binaries.pictures and attempted to troubleshoot.  Here is exactly what I do:

First I extract a gif file from a usenet newsgroup (I haven't tried this yet 
with files more than one message long).  Then, from my account on a Vax, I use 
a uudecode program to uudecode the file.  Then I transfer it to my Apple //e 
enhanced-running-Prodos1.1.1 computer using the kermit protocol (and the Kermit 
3.87 term program), making sure to set both vax-kermit and my kermit to
_binary_ file type.  Then of course I run ][GIF, attempt to view the file, and 
it crashes on me.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
