[bt-devel] Lexicon/Dictionary problem

[Greg Hellings]

Joachim,
Apparantly the problem was with double entries in the original, improper 
form of the modules. Once I removed the cache and installed the modules 
again, things have started to be displayed properly. The updating of the 
cache still remained puzzling. After removing the double entries in the 
module (an occrrence of "Advocate, Counselor" once with no data and a second 
time with data) Bibletime picked up that change in the module, even though 
it had cached the data. However, when I removed the commas from the file, it 
did not update that fact. All of that was without changing the module 
version. I have only found one public module where thie behavior may be 
occuring. In the AmTract, the entry "Ashtoreth, plural Ash'taroth" does not 
appear in Bibletime (it does appear in Gnomesword2, so the data must be 
there somewhere). In that particular module, there are a number of entries 
with a comma that do appear properly (such as "Arimathew, or Ramah" or 
"Atonement, Day of" or "Avim, or Avites" and so on) but Ashtoreth does not. 
I will make a bug report on SF based off of this.
