this bug keeps surfacing its intermitent and its a problem of a programmer not adding 1 character size to the length of the string to be stored in the database or somewhere in that process. Normally you need to add 1 char for \0 (null) to delimit a string. Apparently they are just throwing it over the last char in your message. thus the K is overwritten with a null This is really basic programming stuff here. Any programmer worth their cents knows how to do this. To have this sort of bug suggests perhaps a simple mistake or gross ignorance.
