First off, it's Linux, RedHat 7.1, running htdig-3.1.6. I actually dl'd
htdig again this morning and recompiled it just in case.
I haven't played with any locale settings, and there aren't any accented
characters anywhere on the site that I recall.
Here's the weird thing. I mucked about with the configuration file, a
lot in the last little while, and at the end of the file, I now have the
following:
star_blank: ${searchroot}/srbox_none.gif$
max_stars: 5$
$
# External parser to handle pdf's works with xpdf more stable than acroread$
$
$
#max_doc_size: 2500000$

I just cut and paste with :set list set in vi. Note the line with the
single space. I don't know if it's important. So I'm still getting the
same problem. But, if I delete the # External parser... line, then it
seems to work fine.
What the?
