Re: [Gpsbabel-misc] xcsv ROUTE_NAME not written

[Robert L. <rob...@gm...>]

Something officially weird is going on here.   Looking carefully at the date
of my response, I tested it on a Mac, as that's what I had with me on the
plane that day.   So I pulled the official 1.3.6 for Mac and it worked the
same.  but 1.3.6 for Windows does indeed fail as you describe and that's
never supposed to happen.

So route_name does look to be busted on Windows 1.3.6 and I don't have an
explanation (yet) why.
