I am using a fairly recent BBDB from CVS and I don't seem

Although it works to compile, I saw far too many problems so
I went back to 2.34. To begin
When I press `C-o' and then enter `phone' to enter a new
phone field, BBDB defaults to Home as the location.
Is it possible to have BBDB say something else instead by
default? Almost all phone numbers I enter are people's
office numbers.

Ah. I tried upgrading a while ago, but couldn't get bbdb to
compile with cygwin so I gave up. Maybe I should give it
another try...

Hm. I get the same error as the last time I tried to compile
bbdb under cygwin:
While compiling toplevel forms in file h:/bbdb/lisp/bbdb-gnus.el:

`bbdb-complete-name-allow-cycling' is your friend. Set it to
`t' to allow for cycling through email addresses.

I've never been using anything _but_ 20.7 and, since its
release, 21.1. So the problem is in fact present for those
BBDB 2.34 and emacs 21.1 on Win2k.
Although people have _not_ changed their name, BBDB thinks
that they have. The problem occurs if there are non-english
characters in their name which seems to throw BBDB out of
