Ah, you know what it might be? One guy in my office (and he's the only one for some reason), has a lot problems with files getting saved with the wrong encoding. Happens to him all the time (again, he's the only one), but when he saves a file with some messed up code page and then runs it against the server, we get odd, really odd, characters in the code running on the machine. Usually it results in compile time errors when he tries to run the code, but ocassionally stuff slips through.
