I've narrowed down the cause of an exception in BitPim 1.0.6 and 1.0.7.20081215

About three weeks ago I encountered an exception when trying to fetch 
the phonebook from an LG VX-5400 using BitPim 1.0.6.  So I installed 
BitPim 1.0.7.20081215 on top of the previous version but it didn't 
help.  It produced the very same exception.

Since I'm not set up to debug BitPim at the moment, and I haven't yet 
learned Python, I figured the best approach would be to email the stack 
traces to the developers.  So I sent them to 
[email protected].  But other than my posting, that 
list has been dormant all this month.

I just did some tests to narrow down the cause of the exception.  I 
determined that it was happening when uploading the Phone Book from the 
cellphone to BitPim.  So I browsed through the phonebook on the 
cellphone looking for any entry that seemed out of the ordinary.  I 
found one entry that had a phone number but no name.  I modified that 
entry so it had a name, and the problem went away.

Attached are stack traces from the crash.

I'm emailing this to [email protected] in addition to 
[email protected].  If someone on 
[email protected] knows any of the BitPim developers, 
maybe you can bring this to their attention.

The following information is probably not relevant, but just in case, 
the OS is Windows XP Pro, Service Pack 2, and the serial connection is 
via Bluetooth.
