> I've now found a few other possible bugs as well 
> (especially look at
> #3, it exhibits several of the problems):
> 1. Extra \ characters showing up next to [] in the 
> references section
> of:
> http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/lam/Vita/ACM/WooLam9
> 3c.pdf
> 4. [ and ] showing up as #5B and #5D (their hex 
> values), as well as the
> same strange spacing problem I mentioned previously:
> http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/lasr/pub/pdf/Ftcs99_Egi
> da.pdf
> 3. Many, many missing characters, and the #NN codes 
> from above:

> ration/
> npcal15.pdf
> 4. Similar problem to #3:

> 11/cbn95_11.pdf
> 5. Truly bizarre output from these two:
