So I've completely removed and re-installed bro-2.2.  Here's what I get 
when I try and test the script:

[11:11:47 @analysis:~/brostuff/testbrofiles$] bro largeTx.bro
error in ./largeTx.bro, line 7: unrecognized character -
error in ./largeTx.bro, line 8: unrecognized character -
<redacted>
error in ./largeTx.bro, line 96: unrecognized character -
error in ./largeTx.bro, line 97: unrecognized character -

I've tried just downloading the file from email, copying and pasting as 
text, and even getting rid of the tab control characters.  The below 
snippet works though:

event bro_init()
{
         print "Hello World!";
}

[11:15:15 @analysis:~/brostuff/testbrofiles$] bro helloworld.bro
Hello World!


If I copy the script to /usr/local/bro/share/bro/site, add it to 
local.bro with "@load largeTx.bro", start broctl, install, then start, I 
get a fail and diag shows the same as above.
Am I missing something obvious?  Thank you.
