Ken,
You indeed seem to have a correctly functioning MS character munging
system. Honestly and unfortunately, that is still a cause for
congratulation.
Roger's issue is quite real. I fixed _exactly_ that problem, caused
_exactly_ that way three times this summer for one of my customers. After the third time I put
the fix into my standard pipe so I don't know how often it really happened.
