We are in favor of it. :-)

Only the current shipping version and the development trunk are supported.

File a bugreport at https://github.com/GPSBabel/gpsbabel/issues please. Include all steps necessary to reproduce.

Hypotheticals like "If a bit in RAM is corrupted between this store and this load" will be closed. We're a real product that deals in real issues only.

We are inherently reading untrusted input and often from untrusted sources, so running a file converter as root on your server is bad. Don't do that. If you insist on doing it, please run ulimit to minimize the time and CPU load that can be used. An adversary can hand craft (or just plain have) a corrupt or malformed file and sending it to you might make GPSBabel loop forever. We try for that to not happen, but it's a necessary reality of our job. Our goal is a desktop user converting files that they control.
