something strange is happening (again), and these hick-ups might be a symptom of something worse What happened to the usual whitespace after the colon?

I already had to fix one of my posts from yesterday, because I blamed myself for erasing it by accident.

But these cases are accumulating.

    that's what's happening at the end of add_re_to_title

    return "@parts";

    with @parts holding the re-part and the original title.

    My theory:

    The monastery is running on multiple servers and it seems that global vars like $" are not in sync.

    This might also explain some weird effects we had since the last migration.

    Question:

    The bug in question can be easily fixed by

    return join " ",@parts;

    shall I patch or do the gods want to check the root problem first?
