Jim,
Thanks for this. I ran the "findBadFiles.php" file that I placed in maintenance based on your article....and it appears to scan all the files...but then that was it, just back to the prompt. Would it have displayed something if a file was found to be bad?
If so, then I'm still stuck with why the RSS feed is putting in that blank line at the start.
Thanks, Dave

Most of the time when this happens it means you have trailing newlines at the end of an extension file.
At some point this will be auto-detected by MediaWiki - in the meantime, I've posted a script to help you identify the offending file(s):

All,
We are trying to use the RSS feed from Special:Recentchanges, but when we try to pull the feed in we get the following:
XML Parsing Error: xml declaration not at start of external entity
Location:
http://wxp-5ppg211/gecwiki/index.php?title=Special:Recentchanges&feed=rs
s
Line Number 2, Column 1:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
^
It appears Mediawiki is putting in a blank line above the "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>" line, when that line should be
first.
Any ideas on how I can get Mediawiki to change that behavior?
Thanks,
Dave Green
