Hi Jean-Michel,

I think I figured out the above problem and it was long text attributes
overflowing the buffer sizes in the MNC lookup tables.  I've added some
logic that will emit a warning and truncate the strings so that they
always fit (but at a cost of truncation).

Could you please confirm that this fixes things?  And, if not, could you
please send me a copy of the optfile that you're using with that
compiler?
