Hi Daniel,

I have checked the German hyphenation patterns.
The patterns in hyph_de_DE.dic haven't converted to libhnj format yet,
so the hyphenation data is really bad:

$ echo beinahe | ./example hyph_de_DE.dic /dev/stdin
bein-a-he

("example" is in the ALTLinux libhnj library:
http://lingucomponent.openoffice.org/altlinux_Hyph.zip)

Fix with conversion:
$ echo beinahe | ./example <(./substrings.pl <(tail +2 hyph_de_DE.dic) de.dic
>/dev/null 2>/dev/null; echo ISO8859-1; cat de.dic) /dev/stdin
bei-na-he

Yes, it's only type-setting warning.

Daniel, could you check and fix all hyphenation patterns for OOo?
(If not, I will do it.)

Many thanks for the bug report!
