Thank you to our Google Group members for finding a bug in the verification file logic, which stripped out leading zeros when we accessed the verification file. We've fixed this. This should have only affected site owners with verification files that had the pattern google0<unique_string>.html. If your verification file has this pattern and you've had trouble verifying, please request verification again.
