Sometimes the object name gets funny characters, sometimes the object text gets some wrong characters or loses characters all together.? Any idea why this is happening?? I use a KPC3+ and I am running Debian 6.

If it *IS* the same issue that bit me, then dollars to donuts rolling back to
an older version of Xastir won't fix it --- I was seeing that problem back
in 1.9.6, I think.  2.0.1 and 2.0.0 have very few differences --- mostly 
external scripts, new DBFAWK config files, and a couple of new TNC startup
files.  Reverting to 2.0.0 will almost certainly not fix this problem, even
if it's not the same problem that I had.
