Jon - happens on any file, and continued after reinstalling atomicparsley.
I should have said at the outset that this was on a newly setup vps
running a minimal version of Ubuntu 10.04. In any case, I've now
installed a more complete version of Ubuntu 11.04 on the vps and got the
same problem. I think I'll have to give up on the vps.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you very much for the ppa
which I've been using for some time on another machine.
Alan.
