Here is an interesting bug.  Take the following:


begin 644 example
M<V1F9W-D9F=D<V9G<V1F9V1S9F=D<V9G#0IS9&9G<V1F9W-D9F=S9&9G9'-F
A9V1S9F=D#0IW92!F96%R(&1U<&QI8V%T92!D871A(0T*
`
end

And uudecode it to a file.

Type:

	more example

You should see:

	sdfgsdfgdsfgsdfgdsfgdsfg
	sdfgsdfgsdfgsdfgdsfgdsfgd
	we fear duplicate data!

But instead, you see:

	sdfgsdfgdsfgsdfgdsfgdsfg
	sdfgsdfgsdfgsdfgdsfgdsfgd
	we fear duplicate data!
	!

vi the file to see what's in it:

	sdfgsdfgdsfgsdfgdsfgdsfg^M
	sdfgsdfgsdfgsdfgdsfgdsfgd^M
	we fear duplicate data!^M


Gotta love them gremlins...
