It looks like I have a problem with my routes.txt file, but I can't seem to 
identify 
what it is.
Thanks.

Thanks for the report. I'm pretty sure you can work around this problem by 
adding a
route_long_name column to routes.txt (even if the value for it is the empty 
string on
every row). I am writing a fix which will get into the next release. Let me 
know if
the work around helps.

Also, utf-8 errors in route_long_name can trigger this bug.

It looks like the error may have been due to the UTF version of the files.

My DB extract (SQL Server 2005 & Win XP client) was creating UTF-16 files.  I 
was 
looking for a conversion tool when I discovered that COPY with the "a" switch 
(a as 
in ASCII), generates a file that passes as UTF-8. 

Thanks,

The validator should read UTF-16, generate an error and otherwise process it
normally. If you send me the file I can work out what went wrong with the utf-16
handling.

No bother.  We're good now.  I am getting good validation now, and I'm not sure 
we 
could reproduce the files that caused the error message.
Thanks!

Fix for route_long_name = None (stack trace that opened this issue) is fixed in 
trunk
and will be in next release. If someone reproduces the utf16 problem please 
open a
new issue.
