The ^I is probably a control character that go into a file somewhere by accident. You might want to cvsup/make-world in order to get correct files in place. BTW, when I last saw something like this, it was a bunch of ^L control characters scattered through my system's source code. The system in question had a bad mother board. I don't know if you have a problem like that, but you should keep your eyes open for an abundance of control characters in random places in random files. Even after cvsup-ing new source code files, I still had these ^L characters everywhere. So, look for a clue like that. Wow, that happened to me back when I was updating from 2.2.5 to 2.2.7. :) Thanks for the chance at nostalgia. :) Jaime
