First, many, _many_, thanks to Earl for diagnosing this. I'd never
have uncovered it.
Second, just for the record, the old archives did come from a VM
Listserv (CMS) and had something ...odd... on that line.
I got rid of them only with
sed '^..$' archivename > newarchivename
(Actually embedded in a much longer sed script, but that's the gist.)
It _looks_ like a space, but isn't, and looks like one character,
but isn't. The beginning of line operator, two single character wildcards,
and end of line operator gets it, though.
Thanks again,
Eric
