Thank you; this is a very definite bug.

I was about to ask for more specific coordinates, but didn't have
to; a bit of mousing around showed that the entire stripe between
about dec +11 and +13 through Pegasus was mislabelled Pisces. And
a stripe between about dec +29 to +32 going through Pegasus was
mislabelled Andromeda, and a stripe in Octans from decs -83 to -75
was mislabelled as Hydrus. The thing these areas have in common is
that the eastern constellation boundary runs along RA=0 in B1875
coordinates (the system in which constellation boundaries are
defined.)

Once I saw that, I was able to fix the bug.

My guess would be that it may have been there since Guide 1.0.
Strange it didn't get caught before!
