I will suggest that you do like the rest of us...
Submit a patch on 
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=2294&atid=302294

I can reccomend 
Patch for UTF-8
Patch for export to SQLite

:-)

When you have done that, you can post a mail here on the list.

Hi Jarl,

Glad there's some life here!!

I'll submit the code and see what happens.

Things have been working fine until I tried to generate a csv file from a
large table containing a lot of text fields -  mdb-export crashes out with:

*** glibc detected *** /usr/local/bin/.libs/lt-mdb-export: double free or
corruption (out): 0x08f0dcb0 *** 

I cannot see any problems in the Access table that could cause some kind of
error condition but the export stops at exactly the same record every time
and suspiciously close to when it creates a 100MB csv file (104140795) so
could I be hitting a memory allocation limit or am I totally off-the-mark? 

I'm afraid I am only 2-days 'into' c programming so I wouldn't know where to
start looking!?

Thanks

Nigel


EDIT: 

Apologies to Jarl - my first reply went direct and not to the list.

Scrap the idea of the 100MB limit as one of my exports to csv makes it to
177MB without any problems.
