   Hey,

   Check out my blog at http://www.georgiecasey.com
   At the top of the page before any output, there's a random string of characters which changes every so often. Right now I see that its '24c5 0'. I did a search of my wordpress source for that character and cant find it so it must be generated in a php command. It's not the theme as I switched back to default and its still there. It's making me nervous that I don't know where its coming from. Anyone have a clue what it is?

   I'm not seeing the problem in FF.
   Maybe try disabling plugins one by one?

   I have the same problem. If i delete some of my posts the strings go away. and if you write more they will reapear.

   I have tried to reinstall but nothing happens. I dont use plugins.

   This problem does not show on every browser. ie. at my home i dont see the strings on my page and at work i do.

   But you can see those string in feeds always.

   And yes it brokes your feeds too...

   Can anyone help?

   I have apache 2.2.4, php 5.2.1 and mysql 5.0.37
   Ill try difrent apache and php versions soon...

   Hi

   I removed the php 5.2.1 and installed php 4.4.6 and the strings disappeared.

   This is very strange.

   My site is adult so if mods want to take the url down please do but my url is: http://www.2hornyteenies.com

   Since upgrading from PHP 5.2.0 to PHP 5.2.2, I have the very same problem. I'm using the latest versions of WordPress and WPMU and the problem occurs on both WP and WPMU.

   The characters don't show up visibly in all browsers, but they are there on every page on every WordPress blog on my server in the raw HTTP output.
   See, for instance, the '1f48' right before the page output and the '0' at the end of the page in the example below:

   GET /weblog/feed/ HTTP/1.1
   Host: zoetermeer.sp.nl

   HTTP/1.1 200 OK
   Date: Mon, 07 May 2007 20:33:12 GMT
   Server: Apache/2.2.4 (Unix)
   X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.2
   Last-Modified: Mon, 07 May 2007 11:22:54 GMT
   ETag: "ca3335e1a2642f1c67458017a4655e53"
   Status: 200 OK
   Transfer-Encoding: chunked
   Content-Type: text/xml; charset=iso-8859-1

   1f48
   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
   <!-- generator="wordpress/wordpress-mu-1.0" -->
   <rss version="2.0"
   xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"
   xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/"
   xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
   >
   (...)
   </item>
   </channel>
   </rss>

   0

   This breaks RSS parsing in some clients, and in some browsers the characters show up (strangely enough, they don't in most - I'm not seeing anything in Firefox 2 or IE 7)

   The character (hex?) strings change when the page content changes (for instance, when I change the encoding from iso-8859-1 to utf-8). This leads me to assume that it has something do with character encoding, but I really can't find it out where the problem lies...
