Most recently I used tab and backspaced over quiet.
Since I didn't have a running system, I had to copy the result by hand:

Every line began [1.429346]
The *s represent little circles.
The question marks are the result of wrap-around and
my screen apparently being 79.7 characters wide.
I expect that they should be the same as the hex digits following them.

Any ideas?
