First the good news:  There's nothing wrong with your GIFs.

Now the bad news:  ASCGIF, as posted, is fucked.  It reports ALL GIF files
as corrupted, whether they're 87a or 89a.  I've fixed about 6 or 7 bugs 
in the code, but there's still a couple of subtle ones in there that I
haven't found yet.  Someone supposedly posted a fixed version, but it
never showed up here.  I'm making slow progress on it, because it's some 
of the most hideous, wretched, unreadable C code I've ever seen.  The 
thought that this was posted by someone from Bellcore is scary....
