Hi Paul,
this is strange.
I tried to reproduce it with the same filenames as yours but nothing
unexpected happened.
Would it be possible for you to send me all files of your thesis?

Hi!
I have a main thesis.tex file that includes other LaTeX files via \input.
Chktex supports this and tries to open most of them, but for a few it
does a weird thing. It copies the 4th and 5th character over the 3th
and 4th and then tries to open the file.
Relevant snippet from thesis.tex:
---
\input{00.preamble}
[...]
\input{10.introduction}
\input{20.preliminaries}
\input{30.finite_state}
\input{40.pushdown}
\input{50.parallel_pushdown}
\input{60.executable}
\input{70.conclusions}

Output of chktext (-n1 -n .... ) thesis.tex:
---

No errors printed; 3 warnings printed; 876 user suppressed warnings printed.

Note how it has no troubles opening 10.introduction.tex (no warnings),
20.preliminaries, etc., but fails for 00.preamble as it changes it into
00.prammble.
The only pattern I could discover is that the files start with a number
and then a dot and then a "p".
Kind regards,
Paul
