Hi all,

Just resubscribed to the list and wanted to give a brief introduction.

I've been slinging bits and bytes for a while now. Professional
experience includes Fortran, C, Business Basic, Object Pascal, C++ and
C#, plus a variety of other languages on an experimental basis.

I've been dipping my toe into the Sword waters off and on for the last
15 years but never really got much traction. Over this last Christmas
break, I tried again and found the FlatAPI and C# bindings. Not sure
If those are new since the last time I looked or I just never saw them
before, but they've given me enough of a toe hold to make some good
progress on a desktop app these last couple weeks.

While working on my project, I found a crash that occurred on certain
dictionary entries where one of the filters was trying to dereference
NULL+1 for sync tags. I do have a fix for it. Given my limited
knowledge of the library code overall, I'm not sure it's the best fix,
but it does seem to work for my use case.

I was going to submit a patch and wanted to confirm the preferred way
of doing this is to post to this list with an attached diff. Is that
correct? I searched for information about this process but didn't find
anything specific; just kind of read between the lines. If there is a
resource/FAQ I can review, please point me to it and I'd be happy to
try to conform to what's wanted.

Peace and blessings,
Harley
