I found out that there was a bug fix from 2.10.4 to 2.11.4 that if the
document type is plain text (no html headers) and if it has 14 character
whitespace at the beginning an error will be thrown. The way I had
processlogin document set up is to act as a redirect that captures some
details about the user and stores it into the database then redirects to the
member index. However, since I didn't add any HTML headers it treated it as
a plain text document and since it was way down on the list there was a ton
of whitespaces... and thus the error.

I got some help in IRC to figure this out and I had forgotten to respond
saying I got it fixed here...

Thanks for the assistance, though!
