Wow, that's interesting. I have no such problem on my system. Another case
of "different system, different result". I suspect it is puking on the ISO
8859-1 British Pound symbol (0xa3) in the string. I will try substituting
"\xa3" and see if that still works here. (If you want to try it too, just
substitute changed the "[$£]" to [$\xa3]" everywhere.)
