My apologies for bothering the list with this cool-sounding but bogus problem; I only sent it accidentally (I discovered my mistake while writing the original) and followed with a retraction which I stupidly sent to the old rutgers address. Wish I had sent the original there, too.
I was fooled by characters inserted by emacs when I loaded up the file to look at it. I loaded it as text, then converted to hex. Emacs had already added some '^'s to denote escape characters, and left them in. My mistake.
