Yay.  I've committed this fix to my tree.   Thanx.

If I'm guessing this problem correctly, it only impacts the read of
waypoints when the alt is unknown, right?   That's a known outtage in
the jeeps library that's about second or third on my list of stuff to
deal with next.

The core problem is that GPSBabel has a (bad) concept of "unknown alt"
and the Garmin protocols have about three different concepts of "unknown
alt" and the interface between the two has no concept of unknown alt, so
it's not at all uncommon to see wacky results for that.

Yeah, it's really lame, but it's bulky to fix becuase I have to change
23 different formats at the same time to "fix" this.

Watch the GPSBabel-code list for a fix on this one.
