It wasn't meant to be - a stuff up in the loop which either leaves the last
character off or adds one too many is usually the cause of these problems,
and was in this case.  A much more robust interpreter (I hope) will be in
the 1.08 release, which will come out as soon as I can tear myself away from
tinkering with the Helldiver Packet Format.  Any minute now. :-)

Cheers,

Rhys.
