I found a fix for this bug (haven't been able to test it yet, though).

In Parse_Formatted_String in file express.c, replace the line
     while (*src != '\0')
with the line
     while (*dest != '\0')
and the line
          case '\0': *dest=0x5c; break;
with the line
          case '\0': *dest=0x5c; *(dest+1) = '\0'; break;
and increast the size of the 'buff' array to MAX_STRING_INDEX*2+1

This should solve the problem.
