22 I can't see how you can get those errors, unless you have a broken qlist that
23 is outputing something dodgy from the "qlist -ICv"
24
25 If it persists, copy-paste your input and the output from your terminal into a
26 mail. Or run
27
28 qlist -o $(qlist -ICv) | less
29
30 and examine that closely for errors
