I have one table where the user has pasted some notes from another application into a 'comments' field of type 'memo' and mdb-export segfaults when it gets to these notes - they are quite long and contain tabs. I am not sure whether it's the length of the data or that it includes non-ascii characters, but I just wondered if anyone had any ideas tracking down the problem - I have had a look at the source code for mdb-export but I don't know C very well so I'm not getting very far. I get the feeling it's a buffer overflow or character (tab?) handling issue somewhere? Any thoughts on where to look?
