Hi, I made a fresh install with rvm 1.9.2-p0 and rails 3.0.3
and I cannot reproduce your problem. Maybe you could try to
replay what I did and see if you can still reproduce it ?

Also, to examine that first character in detail, what is the
result when you try this:

009:0> d.entity.bytes.to_a[0..5]
=3D> [32, 85, 110, 105, 116, 101]

I see a "regular" space (character 32 in decimal notation)
as first character.

HTH,

Peter
