Over the years, I've probably gotten two dozen reports like yours, where there was a single-character error. Almost always, the error was a single bit in the character. CVSup7.freebsd.org, which I maintain, used to get these errors every 3-4 months or so. Once I replaced the RAM with ECC RAM, the problem vanished entirely. That was also the case for all of the other reports I've gotten about this kind of problem. Johnhelp
