Hi Terry.

Most likely you have run into the "yahoo http comment bug" - yahoo added
http comments to its data, which mas doesn't expect.  The fix was
easy, but I've not yet formally released the compiled executable.

I'm hoping to find the time to put it up on sourceforge in the next few
days.  If it doesn't show up in a few days, why don't you send me a
reminder email - in case I don't get a chance to get to it.  At that point
I can just email you the new executable so you can get going with it.
