Dear crew,

Sometimes a line like

Opt=HASH(0x1c43ab4) executable : pdfetex

is appended before a texexec job; what does this mean?

It looks like a perl debug print statement, because something like

print STDERR "Opt=$Opt" ; # check value of $Opt

would give this effect.

Thnx 4 the explanation Does the appearance of this indicate some misconfiguration that I should be concerned about, or is it completely benign? Thnx Idris ============================ Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523
