Hey Oliver. Very helpful. I had spotted the junk earlier, but I am not
sure how it got there. The reason why I was having troubles was that
practically any editor was locking up my machine when I tried to open it
(sorry, I don't know enough perl). I had tried gedit, mlview, and even
nano. I finally managed to get it to work with a non-free text editor,
but only having to reboot after several kernel hard locks, owing to
consuming a few gigs of ram.

In any case, we're back online. Hopefully we can figure out what was
causing it.

Thanks again for your help.
