[chirp_devel] Bug 937: FT-857D crashes due to problematic channel

[Robert Terzi]

Ok, I believe I've found the answer and I believe is is a (latent) bug in the
radio itself. A memory label of 4 characters or less will cause the radio to
crash when accessing that memory.  This is on a FT-857D, manufactured in 2012.

The default label the radio creates is 6 characters long CH-NNN, so there is
probably never a case where it is possible to create a label on the radio with
0xFF's starting at a position less than the 7th character.

Most likely a work around should be added to Chirp to space pad labels to a
minimum of 5 or 6 characters.
