You might also want to check that the <code>print</code> is succeeding; one possibility would be a full disk or a quota error resulting in not writing the whole thing. Check the <code>close</code>, too; sometimes output errors are deferred to the close (when all the buffers are flushed).
<p>Also check the size of the file to make sure it's what you expect. It's possible for certain control characters to sneak into a file and make it look different on the screen than what's actually on the disk (like <code>^H</code>).
<p>Hope this helps!
