in reply to The module version works, but the standlone version crashes with "Malformed UTF-8 character"

you mean "well known" among first time posters who still use the /o modifier and can't boil down their problem to an SSCCE ?

edit

did you really safe both files as UTF8?

    All three files are all saved as UTF-8 NO BOM/Unix Terminators (with UltraEdit).
    All scripts have only ascii encoding, that means I could also save them as ANSI/ASCII. I tested it too. No changing in result.
    Without /o modifier same result.
