Right.  It's also running in PHP 3.0.18 Apache 1.3.12 module under 
FreeBSD in an iServer Virtual Server environment.  I have MySQL running 
there also, so I could switch to that backend without much trouble...

Thanks..  There is one other clue I forgot to mention earlier.  I found 
that in this particular page, some unknown character had been introduced 
in the place of the spaces near the beginning of lines.  I copied this 
into an email message to for future reference, but unfortunately I was 
working in Netscape at the time (need to reboot into Linux), and think 
it may have converted it to a newline in the process.  Anyway, I have 
two zip dumps of the database, and at least one of them should contain a 
copy of the file with these characters present, if that would help(?)

I'm pasting two example lines below, one with a space after the *, and 
the other with the unknown character, which may have been introduced 
when a user was confused by the edit conflict screen and ended up 
copying the text into Word Perfect and back.  I've turned 
quote-printable encoding on in this message in case that character is 
still after the second * below...
