Arrrgh. No, it is due to my non-americvan keyboard layout: when typing a
pipe (|) and a space right after that I sometimes do not release the
AltGR key needed for the pipe soon enough and type a space-looking (on
some editors including mcedit that I use) non-space.


I actually tested this time, but no, not a full install.


Will make a new upload swiftly so you can spot the real errors :-P
