looks like recent xroot (4.12.3-llifpc2) insert (at least at times) a non ASCII character at the end of an error message, see screenshot below. This breaks current code which reports and parse those messages. Can it be avoided ? While I only have an example from using CMS code , @makortel says that in this case it just prints xrootd message "as is" ![Screenshot from 2021-08-31 17-48-12](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1837785/131671605-0d4d1ba3-6ff0-463c-87f6-2ce8ce6d19fd.png) Of course we can filter for non-ASCII on our side, but @klannon suggested to report this to you as well for a proper resolution. In this I am the current maintainer of a tool which relies on CMS framework reports, so am 2 software layers (CMSSW and CMS/WMCore) away from xroot, simply acting as messenger here, but I doubt I can be of further help.
