Hello,

I have a desktop and a laptop computer, both of which run Ubuntu Karmic
Koala. The Python version they have now is 2.6.4rc1.

In my laptop computer "ASCII" causes a crash in Sphinx. And until I manually
edit nodes.py Sphinx goes on to spit errors... However, in the desktop
computer Sphinx works fine no matter in what case is "ASCII"...  Just a
note, uninstalling and re-installing Sphinx and Docutils did not have any
effect on the problem...

Regards,
Firat
