[Bacula-users] wx-console on Windows won't talk to director on Linux (bug?)

I've been running Bacula for several months to back up several Linux
servers to disk on one of them.  I also installed Bacula on a Windows
workstation, and was able to run backup jobs from it (that is, pulling
data from the file-daemon there).  However, when I run the wx-console on
Windows and point it at the director running on Ubuntu, I get errors
like the following:

When I go into the "restore" screen, the drop-down boxes for client,
etc., don't have suitably-populated lists; instead, they say stuff like
".clients?: is an invalid command" where the "?" is actually a little
square box.  My guess is that the console is sending lines terminated by
"\r\n", and the director is only stripping the "\n" from each line
before parsing it. =20
