I cut it down to only three lines, typed the whole quote in again in a 
new file, changed character-encoding (from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-15), entered 
it as text instead of a text file, and still it duplicated. I have the 
horrible feeling that I may have to try adding it in one word - or one 
character? - at a time. 

This has all begun to feel very familiar. I remember having this same 
trouble a year or so ago with 0.133 (I'm now using 0.134) but with a 
totally different sig. As that release was already giving me more trouble 
than TB or knode, I gave up. Chickens coming home to roost? I'll keep 
experimenting and will return when and if I find the cause.

Here's another longish sig but one which gives no trouble. Weird!
