Ah -- the characters { | } are used for ø æ å (not necessarily in that
order) on Danish-Norwegian keyboards. I think country 44 is Norway.
Anyway, you did some good detective work. Even if I'm wrong about country
44, I'll bet the problem is that | (ASCII 124) is alphabetic in the
keyboard setup for country 44.
