The system editor in OS/2, e.exe, tacks a ^Z onto the end of text files 
edited with it.  (This dates back to CP/M, which didn't bother to keep 
track of file sizes save to the extent of knowing how many sectors they 
used on the disk, so that text files had to have their ends marked with 
^Z to keep text-processing programs from reading the up-to-a-sector's 
worth of garbage after what should have been the end of file.

Mozilla doesn't deal with that ^Z very well at all, I found out the hard 
way.  The solution is to use another editor and get rid of the ^Z.
