The problem isn't one of not handling SSIDs larger than 9, but of handling call+SSID strings longer than 8 characters, and the culprit is in the start_screen function in call.c. I expanded the string buffer and string format to accomodate a 9-character call+SSID combination, which should be plenty as AX.25 specifies a 6-character call sign. The change doesn't appear to cause any problems with the UI, and I didn't get any other crashes when connecting to a node that I had problems with previously (one of our local Winlink 2000 FM packet nodes),

This patch is really just a quick diff from the axcall source code directory, so it'll need some tweaking before it can be applied directly.
