Fixed, but the problem is that that file is apparently being written
out as a text file, and was last saved on a Windows system (it has
extra ASCII 13 characters in it if you open it on UNIX).  This is a
general problem with cross platform development: you have to decide
whether or not the data files should be in the native format for each
OS or whether they should be portable...
