Thanks for at least trying. I haven't found anyone else that has been able to replicate it either, this would be a huge pain to chase down for me. I'm able to replicate it 100% of the time on my system. So if anyone IS interested in trying please contact me and I will give them a shell account to help me figure out what is wrong. The new version of bash doesn't seem to let me echo unicode properly, so I would be greatly interested in figuring out what is wrong. Or for some guidance on fixing that.
