I am using ubuntu 10.04 (lucid) which includes meld 1.3.0 (1.3.0-2ubuntu1).  
(see http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/gnome/)
 
The current ubuntu natty (11.04) indeed includes meld 1.5.0.
 
I understand that my version is too old to support.
But it's not such a big problem anyway.
 
But maybe you'd like to know that my first guess with the blank at the end of
line is wrong.
The error also occured with other lines.
 
Thanx for your answer, gerhard
