Are you sure this is a Rev bug? I seem to recall from the original  
post that the stack was transferred over ftp or some other internet  
file transfer. Did you try to zip it before sending it?

I know some forms of file transfers can corrupt a file when sent over  
the internet. It is far less prevalent than it used to be, but that is  
why encoding was originally used. Files were converted to internet  
friendly characters because internet routers were originally only  
designed to pass text based files.
