The line

\vskip uploaded/tccfl/2h131857168ab5415tccfll1/default_1123534848.sequence___17___tccfl/jac/08_2D_Motion/projectile-1.problem= in

appears in several individual problems to be printed.  For what it is worth,  "/tccfl/jac/ " refers to another instructor here at TCC.  I.e. it is a reference to a
problem in a Physics course, somehow being pulled into this student's print job.


Any thoughts?  I can provide the username of the student if it might be helpful.
