Fixed.  Found out it was affecting both Serial KISS TNC an AGWPE
interfaces.  Debugged with a remote AGWPE interface courtesy of one
of our Xastir users.  The fix is in CVS now, but for those that
don't want to wait for it to show up on the anon CVS server, find
the tail end of the db.c:decode_ax25_header() function and change it
to look like this:


    // Copy the result onto the top of the input data.  Note that
    // the length can sometimes be longer than the input string, so
    // we can't just use the "length" variable here or we'll
    // truncate our string.
    //
    xastir_snprintf(incoming_data,
        MAX_LINE_SIZE,
        "%s",
        result);

//fprintf(stderr,"%s\n",incoming_data);

    return(1);
}


The important part line is "MAX_LINE_SIZE".
