[Dx4win] Converted ADIF import sets eQSL flag

I don't care to participate in eQSL, so I've set my program preferences 
to NOT set the eQSL Upload flag when a new entry is added to the log. 
The vast majority of the data is add to my log is imported from contest 
QSOs logged in N1MM+. At the end of each contest, I export the log in 
ADIF format. I then use AD1C's very useful ADIF to DX4WIN conversion 
utility (currently version 9.8) to generate a DX4WIN version 9 dxq file 
that I import into DX4WIN.

Lately I have been noticing that every time I import such logs all QSOs 
end up having the eQSL Upload flag set. I always have to run the DX4WIN 
routine to clear these upload flags. I finally did a careful analysis of 
the situation and determined that the eQSL flag is indeed being set on 
import. I can't tell if the flag is being set by the conversion utility 
or if the program is erroneously setting the flag on import. Has anyone 
else encountered this problem in importing data from other sources?
