Thanks for working on abook.
I don't use abook's export function anymore because I switched from
mutt to nmh and don't use an alias database there. But anyway the
issue surely needs a fix.

Surely not. Two and a half year ago, my C knowledge wasn't as good as

Thank you very much for this information mail; that's a great service.
I hope fixing it completely won't be too difficult. Unfortunately, I
can't offer my help, because I'm very busy at the moment. I would have
loved to help, but it's not possible currently.
Have good times.
