{{Quickfixn}} String to Boolean error

I'm getting a puzzling error in my logs:
20140206-16:43:09.435 : Could not convert field: Cannot convert string to
boolean
20140206-16:43:09.435 : Message 824 Rejected: Incorrect data format for
value (Field=6082)

The puzzle is that field 6082 in my message log is a Boolean value
(6082=1).  It seems that strictly speaking FIX defines only 'Y' or 'N' as
Boolean?

If this is correct, I'll speak to my counterparty; but is there an argument
for a looser definition of Boolean as 1 or 0 and not just Y or N?

I'll define that field as string in my definition file.

I'm not sure that quickfix has ever rejected 0 for Boolean.
