It seems this is all about BBDB v2. Unfortunately, the BBDB v3 that I
have been working on for a little while has not yet been released

  BBDB is available at
  http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/bbdb/
  To check it out, use
  git clone git://git.savannah.nongnu.org/bbdb.git

Nobody on the BBDB mailing list has ever mentioned EUDC. So I never
thought about this till I saw this bug report.

I've tried to clean up the code of BBDB and make it more robust. Lots of
things have changed along this way. It seems to me that eudc-bbdb.el
would likewise benefit from that. However, the current version of
eudc-bbdb.el will not work with BBDB v3.

There are a few things left I'd like to do before making the first
proper release of BBDB v3. It appears to me that then it would make more
sense to look into adapting eudc-bbdb.el to BBDB v3.

If in the meanwhile you have a patch that fixes the bug for you, can you
continue with it till then?

Thanks,

Roland
