I agree that this shouldn't be happening but I have stripped out everything of no consequence and it still will not change that variable. I have moved all my strings to PROGMEM so I am fairly confident that this is not causing my problem. I have been trying to avoid posting a bunch of code so as not to scare people off but here goes:
I have left out the string setup at the top and the vast majority of the code but this is the part that is broken. If I dumb it way down and simply print to the HyperTerminal it works fine.
int bombteam = 0;
int gamemode = 0;
int team1score = 0;
int team2score = 0;
char team1scoretext[4];
