Topicbox-Message-UUID: 077e3490-ead5-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025 plan9port acme calls it a "bad load file" when I try to load a dump file in which a shell window contains the output of "9p read plumb/rules". Specifically, the error message refers to the line in the dump file just before a "data matches" line containing one of the complicated regular expressions with special characters ("i- ") in the basic rules. Are there certain characters which acme does not expect to see in the load file, and fails when it does see them? Or is there a similar problem with what's okay to print when reconstructing an +Errors window (this seems farther-fetched)? The plumb/basic file itself comes back fine, probably because its content doesn't go through the dump-file parser. I can work around it easily enough, by clearing any buffer in which I've output the read command before I dump. I also tried to manually edit the dump file, which only works if I delete the "bad" +Errors window's tag and all windows and tags after it. If this is a known problem, or you would like a bug report, would someone kindly direct me to (its record in) the appropriate bug-tracking system? Jason Catena
