@joe: Maybe put in this fix after checking if PHP version >= 7.

The chr(32) is to specify Ascii instead of any other collation like utf-8, etc. that would occur if a mere space was put in place of it.

Its an FA bug unmasked by an advanced version of php, requiring a code change to fix. You might make it quiet down by adding:

$line .= chr(32);

after $len = strlen($line);

on line 181.
