It's possible (and very likely) that (due to crappy coded wad editors) some lumpnames contain garbage data bytes. So for example the THINGS lump doesnt look like THINGS but is actually THINGS%E or something ridiculous. Try make a copy of the wad file (you dont want to destroy the beautifull work of MM) and opening the wad file in a wad editor to fix the lump names first.

It should work correctly because it ended with a \0

Ah well Doom Builder reads and handles them as fixed lengths strings, so next version ill fix it by setting all bytes to zero after the zero terminator.
