 Hi,
 Recently I've noticed that Base64 encoded data produced by implementation
 I use and implementation used by chromium project sometimes are not the
 same. It happened only once but it was enough for me to start worrying.
 The implementation is quite simple.
 [[BR]]
 namespace bai = boost::archive::iterators;
 [[BR]]
 using it_base64_t =
 bai::base64_from_binary<bai::transform_width<std::string::const_iterator,
 6, 8>>;
 [[BR]]
 auto writePaddChars = (3 - input.length() % 3) % 3;
 [[BR]]
 std::string base64(it_base64_t(input.begin()), it_base64_t(input.end()));
 [[BR]]
 base64.append(writePaddChars, '=');

 simple and elegant.[[BR]]

 However, today I wrote a short test which takes a chapter from 'Alice's
 Adventures in Wonderland' and encodes it. As well, I used two different
 online encoder to encode the same text, both online encoders produce the
 same data. However above code produced the same code until character 1029
 and then it is different from what it should be. Then later, it gets back
 to the same output as produced by online encoders.
 So my question is, any chance it is a bug in archive::iterators or it is
 something in the above code?
 Coliru is down, so, full code is here http://pastebin.com/JxMsMeV2
