Actually, the problem is in the TLE checksum routines. I was using an
unsigned char to accumulate the checksum for each line, and on some
occasions, the sum would exceed that of an unsigned char and roll over
through zero.
In looking through the code, I made some other minor changes. I expect to
spend more time testing it today, and if all works out okay, I'll issue a
new version.
Thanks for pointing out the problem.
