EF BB BF ist the byte-order mark in UTF-8 … the root of all evil!  BOMs are chronically inserted by Windows editor programs (but by hardly any other software), and they're quite hard to get rid off.

While  CWB should really understand and skip the BOM at the start of a UTF-8 file, once you cat together several such file (e.g. feeding them to CWB from stdin), you produce illegal input with BOMs littered throughout the text.

Best,
Stefan
