Not sign instead of space when repeating insert

Hi,

This is my first posting to the mailing list. Of course it was motivated
by some obnoxious problem that I cannot fix, but it looks like a good
place to learn more about the most awesome editor on Earth :P

A while ago, I noticed that when I use "." to repeat an insert, the
spaces get replaced by not signs (Č, ¬, ¬). For instance, the
following sequence of keystrokes: "aa b c<ESC>." produces the following
text: "a b caČbČc".

I checked that the characters are actually those (they are saved to
file), not just a visual representation of spaces.

I looked at the ". register, and the weird characters were already
there. I have no idea how these are stored and were the corruption happens.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Sergio
