Hi Jim,
this matter has created a lot of contrast, and continuous.

In fact it is unlikely that the conversion among tails different page
harbors to an error in applications "normal",
this because there is no translation in the first 127 characters,
and the 128 th rarely happens also.
This is the motive for which historically this has not been
a remarkable issue.
