Indeed. Actually, one needs --unusable-chars= (with the '='), otherwise the command-line parsing gets messed up. Worse, if you use --unusable-chars "foo" --replacement-chars="bar", the system hangs here, consuming 100% CPU. Using = for both is fine as well. Doing strace for the hanging command, it loops like this: mremap(0xb6c08000, 6193152, 6967296, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xb6c08000 mremap(0xb6c08000, 6967296, 7839744, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xb6c08000 [...] Maybe a bug in python? > In the second, the program will not save my preferences.
