OK, I think I see the area in 'sscanf(...)' . Their is only one
entry that is numeric in the whole string a '%02x' .

That did the trick with that problem .
But why did this rear it's head after 2.1.125(or so) ?
I have been using 3.5.x series on my 2.1.12x system at home
for some time now . :-}

I think I asked for those patches some time ago , but the
patches you have are for 3.6.a2 . I guess I'll grab them &
try to align them into 3.5.9 &/or 3.5.10 , But there has
been a lot of re-writes in the last few releases .
Heck, I'll just give it a try . ;-)
