Well... that is exactly what is happenning !!
The dictionary is not being loaded. The function
linit bails out saying "Illegal format hash table".
Upon inspection of the code, there seems to be a
assumption made about the sizes of char * and int
to be same. The reads seem horribly confused. I am
still trying to decipher the semantics of hashstrings,
hashtbl and the format of the data in file
american.hash. Is there someone reading this that
can spend a couple of e-mails worth time to answer
my questions so that I can clean up the code and fix
the problem on my Linux/Alpha box?
Thanks,
