857.0. "BACKWARD-QUESTION-MARK in output" by ADA9X::BRETT () Fri Feb 28 1997 10:56

ladebug 4.0-30

notice the BACKWARD-QUESTION-MARK in the following output from ladebug.
[It really is a single BACKWARD-QUESTION-MARK character but I don't know
how to type that]

It makes me think ladebug is actually putting out trash at this point.

If it were on the next line, I'd look at our debugging info more thoroughly
but because of it being on the end of the line, and because the second
dump doesn't show the problem, I'm more inclined to blame ladebug.

We will look into this.
