I made new customer reports with my debian sid 2.4.2. They are not
carried over from an old install. 3 of 4 customers are
00000...0000, so this is something which has happened with this
particular release.
Copying strings from the 2.0 reports file was successful, one new
customer and this time the program did save a string in the
saved-reports-2.4 file, rather than a list of zeroes.
