What was causing this was a problem within the file .sass

Inside the .sass i wrote a review that used accent on the letter "a". Each time I saved the file during development sass did not interpret the accent and then generated special characters:

Oo £ ├ÂÔö £ ├éÔö¼├║├ö├Â┬ú 

The problem was that many, many special characters were generated by loading the file and others can not even be compiled. I realized this when a "trial and error" removing file by file.

So stay tuned to special characters with accents and comments within your .sass file, it may generate memory overload problem because of the sheer amount of characters that are generated each time the document is saved.
