Interesting bug

As stated in WMD gone wild, WM 6.5 is officially not supported by Lotus Traveler 8.5.1, but it's still possible to install it at your own risk :)
Here's a brand new malfunction that seems completely unexplainable: When I create a new message on the ver 6.5 WMD, and try to locate a contact beginning with 'K', the Lotus Traveler client crashes. All other characters seem to work. Anybody else seen this?

Hi Bjørnen,

Only FYI, as I blogged here http://slug.es/BlogSlug.nsf/dx/24042010132931ABSFGB.htm?opendocument&comments#anc1, WMobile 6.5 it's now IBM officialy supported. See here http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24019529&aid=2

Regards,

Thanks! The server was rather unstable yesterday, so we downloaded the update and installed it right away. We also found the reason for the "K" bug: It seems to have been caused by a bogus doc in the ($Contacts) view. The contact name was about 90 characters long with a lot of special characters like %¤#"?!*.
Once we deleted it the issue disappeared.
