Hi,
        that looks like a bug. Try changing the "char c;" to "int c;"
declaration at the top of read_line().

The .ti3 numbers seem wacky. For instance:

192 8.0770 16.029 64.107 9.9789 2.4932 49.271

A Z of 49 with a Y of 3 ?

Patch 186 has a *a value of -180 !

(ie. try running profcheck -v2 on the resulting profile to locate the outliers).

Try creating a .ti1 with (say) a white patch followed by several of
patch 186 value, and then check the resulting readings for consistency.
(ie. is there a display update delay problem).
