Here's a link to the fixed file.
Problem: the file is encoded as UTF-8-BOM instead of plain UTF-8.
Solution:
I figured this out when I noticed that there were strange characters  in the error message, and when I looked for them in the file I didn't see them, so with a little googling I found the UTF-8 thing. Disclaimer: I have no idea what the difference between those two options is :)
