Default propane heater odor?

A phone call from my aunt had her telling me that she thinks
there's an odor from her propane heater. The odor is slight and she's
not even sure it IS from the propane heater, but it seems to be in that
area.
She describes it as a "rotten egg smell" and she "thinks" it's
from the heater, but said "Maybe something crawled into the woodwork and
died." She had the heater serviced about a month ago and all was
apparantly well then.
Until I can get over there, can anyone offer any ideas on this?
Thanks.


Could well be propane. It is made to stink so people will know when it
leaks. Shut the heater off and the tank too and open a window for a while.
Don't take chances. Find the problem. Don't light matches or ranges either.
