Thanks, Woodley. That fixes the problem here, too.

I would reckon you could call that an LKB bug, seeing as LKB seems happy to accept the DOS line endings in the TDL files. If you reformat the semi.vpm file to have regular UNIX line endings, the problem goes away (at least as tested on my end). Cheers, Woodley<div><div></div><div class="h5"> On 11/10/2011 09:33 AM, Emily M.

In particular, we're seeing ^M after each variable property name in the MRS (see the attached file). This works okay for me (Ubuntu 10.04), but for Varya (presumably a different linux version) it's causing the fine system to not be able to read the results files, as the ^M characters are apparently being understood as newlines. (An example can be found in the attached grammar directory under tsdb/home/bad-newlines.) I can confirm that this is not happening for at least one other grammar using the same logon on the same machine, so I'm guessing it's somehow a property of the attached grammar. A quick look through the grammar and skeleton files doesn't show anything suspicious. Has anyone seen similar behavior? Any suggestions on where to look? Thanks, Emily and Varya -- Emily M.
