bbdb "args out of range"

[Bill Harris]

Some time ago, I reported two problems with bbdb
(http://www.mail-archive.com/bbdb-info@lists.sourceforge.net/msg04877.html).
Now I upgraded from Karmic to Lucid and from emacs 22 to emacs 23.  At
first, gnus worked fine in emacs 22 and lucid.  Then I switched to emacs
23, and it seemed to work as usual, too (i.e., the first run gave me
that "Args out of range: 0, 31" when reading a message, presumably from
bbdb).  

As I quit gnus, it asked me to save .bbdb, told me (as usual) the normal
encoding wouldn't work, and this time gave me a way to find the
characters it couldn't map.  I went through each and deleted or replaced
them, saved and quit, and then started it up.

Now both emacs 22 and 23 (with their respective gnus) give me "Args out
of range: 0, 65" when trying to read a message.  A backtrace shows

Is there a good next step?   Or is the best thing to go grab my backup
of .bbdb from yesterday and stick with the encoding problem?

Thanks,

Bill
