There was a bug in the 1.0.0 version of gpsbabel that could cause what
you describe.  It was fixed in version 1.9 of geo.c so the version from
CVS should have this fixed.     Could you describe which version you're
using, the OS you're using it on, the command you're issuing, and the
precise line that gets mangled?


For the top of tree, this works OK on Linux/IA32:
