[Xastir] Fwd: xastir_udp_client question

[Kevin Paetzold]

I have been looking into using xastir_udp_client to sent out the
locations of some local repeaters etc....  from a script. For
some reason that I do not understand I seem to get a "}"
character inserted before my "APRS PKT" string.  Am I doing something
wrong?  Is there an explanation for why this is happening?

For example if I use the command below:
xastir_udp_client localhost 2023 K1KWP 9999 -to_rf 'test test test'
the packet that is logged via XASTIR logging function (and via the AX25
listen) is:
K1KWP>APX199,KB1JQO*:}test test test

By the way, I purposely mangled my passcode in this email and I am using
fedora 12.  Also from playing around in xastir_udp_client and enabling
one of the debuging printfs the string in buffer that is being sent to
the server looks correct (ie. no extra "}" character.  So, it
seems that this is actually happening inside xastir itself.
