[Unison-hackers] Fwd: unison

[Alan Schmitt]

I've just received this message. It's very strange that the version
reported includes a (platform dependent) end of line. Is this a
(known) bug?

Hi Alan,

I am trying to synchronize a linux machine with my Windows laptop
using unison 2.32.52 (the latest stable version). So I download the
windows executable file from your web site
(http://alan.petitepomme.net/unison/index.html) and a linux executable
file from another site (same version: 2.32.52). Now, when I try to run
unison, I get the following error message:

Fatal error: Received unexpected header from the server:
 expected "Unison 2.32\n" but received "Unison 2.32\r\n\000\000\000\000",
which differs at "Unison 2.32\r".
This can happen because you have different versions of Unison
installed on the client and server machines, or because
your connection is failing and somebody is printing an error
message, or because your remote login shell is printing
something itself before starting Unison.


I find this very strange since the error message confirms that both
client and server run version 2.32 of unison. Can you spot anything
fishy?

Thanks.
