That's probably what happened then.

Most editors don't have issues opening that file, but if you browse it
you can see the odd characters (quite a few) that seems out of place.
"kwrite" makes them easy to spot - it highlights them with a ? on a
black circle. In Lazarus IDE they mostly appear as a 'A' character
with a small circle above it. I don't believe that was in the original
C header file.
