Description (last modified by davidsarah)
tahoe.cfg is supposed to be encoded in UTF-8. Most editors on Windows save UTF-8 files with an initial Byte Order Mark, but that causes an error on starting the node:
C:\tahoe\furry>bin\tahoe start
STARTING 'C:\Documents and Settings\David-Sarah\.tahoe'
Traceback (most recent call last):
[...]
