Paul KK4HD found the problem and fixed it.  This is apparently a really old bug
that no one ever caught before!

Larry,

I tried to preserve some more fields when the search failed so making
a change in the search fields keeps some old values. When you search
for a call that does not exist, I noticed that the zone field comes up as
zero. This will be interpreted as a search for '0' in the next search which
makes it fail. Fixed for the next release.
