Servers on my linux box put random crap into webpages!!


most of my servers running on my linux machine, (mostly apache and proftpd) seem to be dropping random garbage into uploaded and downloaded files. If you dont know what i mean, heres an example of what it did.

I loaded my webpage, noticed it doesnt look right. opened the pages source and found this.

<td width="5Â!,&nbsp;</td>

A quick refresh results in a normal page with the proper code:

<td width="521">&nbsp;</td>

this happens about 3 out of 4 times, and the data inserted is always different. However, the weird part is how it always occurs in the same part of my document. A more annoying example is when uploading PHP scripts, to proftpd. It always drops simalar random bytes into those too, which obviously results in a broken script.

Other weird things:
This happened on another linux machine, so i thought it may be a crappy network cable or something. I tried rewiring the thing but no luck. Maybe my router is dying :S

Unless someone can help me out on this, i will prolly spend all of tomorow rewiring my computers.

Those look like table tags for HTML
I don’t know why it would be putting them in error logs
