[Dx4win] BandMap wildly wrong freq?

I'm just starting out with DX4WIN 8; the rig is a IC-756 Pro III.
When I use the bandmap with "Follow radio" checked, it's pretty broken
due to completely wrong frequencies.

For example, the rig is showing 50.125 Mhz right now. The band map
says "717,415.56 6m". It's sort of stable at that reading (sometimes
showing the right freq, usually not) until I spin the dial, then it'll
catch up for a few seconds until going to another bogus frequency.

There's a pattern - usually 717,xxxx for 6m.  Or, switching the rig to
20m (14,004.00) shows "475,416.56 20m". Or "1,400,526.00 20m".
(Currently it's swithcing between "14,005.08", "1,400,508.00", and
"475,416.56" in the bandmap.)

The rig is set with default address, 9600 baud, CI-V transceive off.
DX4WIN set to poll at 5000 ms.

How do I make this work right? Seems like a useful feature if it was
actually usable. :-)
