error, or spurious error

Is it possible there are more "things" in this filePro installation that is
erroring out?  Meaning... I think I have noticed that filePro reports the
file that it could last successfully read as it is initiating itself. Or
maybe the first file it *can't* read. Sometimes it will point to the errfile
when reporting an error.  Actually, haven't seen any of this in a very long
time.  Could you have a whole lot more config type files? Printcode tabls,
help files, etc.?  Is there a different config directory than normal? Does
pfglob have something different in it? Does your config file have the wrong
kind of line-endings? (Unix vs DOS)  Obviously, are the permissions for it
correct?  Does every filePro executable exhibit this error.  Besides p, does
an actual binary do it?  (Isn't p still a script on *nix, not a binary?) 

Some of these may be worth checking, otherwise, I sure don't know.
