Sorry to hear, that's always a pain... :-|

I can't tell the difference between the two applet code: aside from
blank lines (only containing tabs), they are the same! ;-)

Even if Amaya messed up whitespace nodes (something which apparently

OK, take your time and, whenever you can pin-point the thing a bit
further, just post a follow-up. :-)

Good luck for the (data) recovery,
