[bt-devel] Seg Fault Bibletime on linux

[Thomas Crawford]

Gary, that's it.  After compiling sword I have a sword directory on my
server where I copy all the files to /usr/share/sword.  When I removed the
finney and institutes modules and reinstalled them -- all works fine.

The bibletime-2.8.git runs fine also.

So it is all my bad for not keeping those modules up to date.

Thanks a bunch.
