Okay, since everyone seems to hate this thread, let me ask something that's hopefully very simply.

Could someone please, please, please recompile konwert and remove the whole "konwert: error executing filter" line in the source code?

Just replace that crash line with whatever, like drawing a X, or not even doing the translation of the character. I could care less on how you get around this, I'd be very grateful with any type of solution.

Anything at all so that a Telnet session doesn't quit on me suddenly because of this error.

Thanks ahead. *Thumbs crossed*
