@rchenatjpl copied this issue over from the internal repo, and did a quick look into this. apparently, the .vm you are using has some funky non-UTF8 characters in it that I have no idea how they got int there.

if you run dos2unix on the file first, it cleans those out. in the meantime I will keep this ticket around as a note we need to better handle non-UTF8 characters
