Strange invisible charactors

Thanks - This invisible char wasted three or four hours of my time so I just
deleted that test data and re-entered it (the real data from the mySQL never
had the problem). The only thing I can guess is that somehow because that
card and it's test data was filled-out in the 2.5 beta maybe saving there
and opening in 2.2x somehow introduced those invisible (line feeds is my
guess). The final solution would be for all unicode charactors to behave
"good" when they are in script. The reproducible bug is that a line feed (or
0x00) character will cause a script to fail even if it is in a commented-out
line. It also makes database calls really unhappy.
