And this is happening with the SAME message on YOUR system?

Then it is CHANGING enroute to you?!!  That is very inelegant. :(

Or.. Is this happening with the Linux version, locally?

Hmmm..  BTW, it arrived with CP437 from Tommi's system when viewing my

If you think it's OpenXP doing it, is it happening in both Linus and Win  
versions?
