Intresting info: if start debugger and parse module http_base_64 from inets, we got 
=ERROR REPORT==== 8-Oct-2006::14:15:27 ===
Error in process <0.129.0> with exit value: {badarith,[{http_base_64,decode_base64_list,[{[29,26,pad,pad],"n"},"set"]}]}

** exited: {badarith,[{http_base_64,decode_base64_list,[{[29,26,pad,pad],"n"},"set"]}]} **

so, looks like that are core bug in runtime system!

... but for http_base_64 fix are simple:
change
decode_base64_list({[Sixtet1,Sixtet2,pad,pad], []}, Acc) ->
to
decode_base64_list({[Sixtet1,Sixtet2,pad,pad], _}, Acc) ->

and 
decode_base64_list({[Sixtet1,Sixtet2,Sixtet3,pad], []}, Acc) ->
to
decode_base64_list({[Sixtet1,Sixtet2,Sixtet3,pad], _}, Acc) ->
