The simple solution: dos2unix lib/world/mob/17.mob This should fix the problem. You'll probably get the same type of errors in the other world files, but try out the dos2unix solution on these errors too. This problem is closely related to the ASCII pfile problems others (me :) have reported lately. The deformed syslogs is a practical giveaway to the solution/reason for the problem.
