Ahhhrrrrgh! Thanks for not killing it.

Solved. Amazing! That's a workaround I can live with for now.
I feed xxx.tpo.gz into the GUI and it works just fine.

Now... how to debug? Handing GPSBabel uncompressed .tpo files NEVER
works for me (WinVista 32bit running 1.5.0), and apparently always works
on the build platform. I've tried a dozen files of different sizes and
shapes, all of which worked in 1.4.4 and none in 1.5.0.

If you want to try my last attempt, it's a really tiny file:
