That's part of what baffles me... I've been checking the rendered 
standard_template.pt as a reference since I haven't edited it.

I just changed the runzope.bat script to point to a different 
python.exe. I know it's probably not a good idea, but this is just a dev 
machine and I got sick of copying site-packages from my system python to 
zope's python. I haven't tinkered with anything else. I wondered if that 
was causing the problem, but my stock 2.6.4 install is doing the same 
thing. I haven't changed it at all.

I think I've seen the same issue with Zope 2.5.x on Win2k before too. I 
wasn't trying to process PageTemplates as xml though, so it was just 
curious, not a fatal error. This was like 2 years ago though, so it's 
just a vague memory.

The rendered source has the initial blank line... the actual source 
appears as expected over ftp and through the zmi.

I'm going to just work around the issue for now, but I have to get a 
production 2.7 install going soon on Win2k server. I'll check and see if 
it behaves the same way before I change anything and report back. I'll 
be using zope's python in production too ;)
