Hi Robert! Can you please confirm that creating a short memory label on the radio itself fires up the bug? Anyway padding to 5 chars looks safe, I'm going to send a patch in minutes.
FYI on my early FT857 I have many memories labels of 2,3 and 4 characters and I never had a problem, this issue must be limited to only some production batches.
Thank you!!!

Ok, I believe I've found the answer and I believe is is a (latent) bug in the radio itself. A memory label of 4 characters or less will cause the radio to crash when accessing that memory. This is on a FT-857D, manufactured in 2012.
The default label the radio creates is 6 characters long CH-NNN, so there is probably never a case where it is possible to create a label on the radio with 0xFF's starting at a position less than the 7th character.
Most likely a work around should be added to Chirp to space pad labels to a minimum of 5 or 6 characters.
