Zone just not loading or erroring

[Bob Vance]

Somebody probably cut-n-pasted from a 'vi' session -- 'vi' fills the
screen with lines beginning with "~" if the screen is not full of lines
from the edited file.

Hi,

	Well, we found the problem, but don't know why.

	Using "od -a", we found that the last line of the files that
		didn't want to load were "~                " (Without
		the quotes.

	Is the tilde some sort of special character? Why didn't we get
		any indications in syslog, etc.

	Still interested what "state" is and how to decode.

		Thanks, Tuc/TTSG Internet Services, Inc.
