Hi,


So we can conclude these sources are in order. That's good, otherwise
we would have seen more reports, I expect.
But then he never told us how
he got the command (from what source), and how it was entered (in what
terminal).
Other dealings with dash, en-dash, em-dash, hyphens, etc. has
shown this to be a likely cause, so it sounds like a plausible reason
for his problem. 

Thanks,
Jaap
