Hi, Stefan.
I can't replicate the BOM showing up that way even when I'm using a file
which I'm deliberately inserting a BOM into, so this is all speculation...
But
wouldn't
just strip
ping
leading "<U+FEFF>" from the
first element of the vector do the trick? This doesn't resolve the
reason for the mysterious BOM; that might require more info about platforms
and versions.
