hi, robert! yes you are right, I tried the naughty word in 3 different
applications in 3 different context, and, alas, every time jaws with
eloquence crashed!

Subject: another "naughty" word for Eloquence
>Hi,

>Well, I found another word which makes Eloquence crash! This is analogous
to
>the prag-matically and aes-thetically situation I discovered in December.
>(Why is it always me who finds these?!) I've already sent a report of this
>to HJ, so no need for others to do so at this point. I'm sending this to
the
>list as a reminder that if your system crashes for unexplained reasons
while
>using Eloquence, it may be due to a random word that Eloquence doesn't
>"like." Despite what we thought, this bug is still alive and well with the
>new Eloquence and JFW 3.3.

>I'll put spaces between the letters of the naughty word, so that those of
you
>reading with Eloquence won't crash. I was reading the online headlines
from
>my local newspaper, and came across the word Cota (a person's last name, as
>well as the name of a local street here) with the possessive suffix 's
>attached to it. For whatever random reason, Cota works fine, but C o t a '
s
>(without the spaces!) crashes Eloquence and forces me to reboot. Go
figure!

>As with the work-around for the other two naughty words, I'll put it in the
>JFW dictionary so that Eloquence sees it as "c o t a s" rather than "C o t
a
>' s" and thus won't crash. However, it seems to me that HJ needs to get to
>the bottom of this general problem, so that we won't have to worry about
JFW
>sporadically crashing. Makes me nervous to continue using Eloquence: what
>other random words are there which will make it crash? I prefer to use
>Eloquence over other synthesizers, because I like its speed,
responsiveness,
>and voice quality. However, it is disconcerting to know that the program
may
>crash at any time, for no apparent reason than encountering a word it
doesn't
>"like."
>
>Just thought I'd warn people. If you've been having unexplained crashes
with
>Eloquence, be sure to check if it's crashing because of a word.
