[mrtg] MRTG losing Bytes in Octet string

Hi
I'm using MRTG 2.10.13 on a Windows NT workstation.
I'm scanning on our Ficon Directors FC/9000 (CNT) the Rx- and TxFrames to
check the utilisation of each FC-Port.
These Directors will give me back a 64-Bit counter value as an octet
string.
To convert this octet string I'm using the option ConversionCode and a
small perl script.
Now I have seen, that some values from the counters are wrong. I've found,
that when inside an octet string is a Hex Byte with 0x0a or 0x0d these
bytes gets lost. In this case, MRTG will handover to my subroutine only
seven Bytes instead of 8 Bytes. I made a lot of tests and testet each hex
code from 00 ... FF. Every hex code is ok except the two ones with Hex
codes 0x0a and 0x0d which gets lost.

Had someone allready this problem?

Regards Rene Buechler
