Nope. Edited the file in jed, localhost.
But, on a second note, I assumed this might have been it, so I even tried
dos2unix, but it didn't work at all, and I even replaced the pfile with an
old one, still no effect. Something was read from the object file, not the
player file.

We discovered the problem in GMud, since it takes \r into consideration
when it prints stuff out, other clients seem to ignore it since none of the
other people saw it on screen.
