Hmm.  2.5.2 is what I'm using with the version of epgsnoop I grabbed from
BZR last Wednesday. I tried the 0.88 release and it didn't have any
character encoding issues but it doesn't do the "All New" name substitution
properly so I upgraded to the BZR version. Modifying that version to revert
the character encoding stuff fixed my issue. I suspect our problems are not
the same after all.

Steve
