Yeah, I found it, after getting really happy with PHP and IE

The hex code was the UTF-8 BOM crap, which indicates that the rest of the 
file is in UTF-8.
EF BB BF

Windows notepad saved that to the config.php file, that i modified to set 
production mode to true.

For some happy reason within PHP, the hex code EF BB BF is echoed, when a 
file with it is "included".

For CDash / CTest, this means that the thing is added three times to the 
file that the CDash client gets when it submits itself to the CDash 
server.

This was also the reason why IE could not show the menu from the 
administration thing.
I wouldn't wonder if that could somehow be used to hack into ones 
computer.

Firefox seemed to work regardless of this, maybe it just removes that 
sequence. Why doesn't CTest / CMake / IE ?


Oh, and if you are wondering how I removed it, I used notepad++. Under 
encoding you find "Encode in UTF-8 without BOM".
