Hmm, after checking my source code and my own post to this newsgroup with 
a hexedit, I think it's not just editor issue... there's an invisible 
"0xC2" character following the 2nd '|' in my own post and the source 
code...

Not a D, issue. Heh, sry - should've thought checking the hexdump earlier.
