That's part of the process by which the file is read. Does the situation improve if you remove these parens? > I have to assume that some spammer forged a name or address which > managed to slip into the bbdb which is confusing the parser, however, This is unlikely, since such an address would have caused problems for code elsewhere before ever making it into BBDB. What's more likely is that the file got corrupted in some other way. Do you use any other means of updating BBDB, such as Palm Pilot hooks?
