[TYPO3-dev] Weird Upgrade Problem 4.1.x -> 4.2.x

Maybe you're thinking of the thread about TS include files and UTF-8. 
Depending on which OS and with which program you've generated the file, 
you may have a Byte-Order Mark (BOM) at the beginning of the file, which 
makes the TS parser choke. If you don't have an editor that can avoid 
this BOM, the simple workaround is to leave the first line empty, or 
make it a comment.

One day maybe I'll have time and motivation to write a patch to catch 
the BOM automatically... :-)

Cheers
