[bt-devel] Proposed change for BibleTime

[Daniel Owens]

Gary,

I tried out the new build in every way I could think, checking all types 
of modules (except glossaries), trying out parallel works, including 
different languages Bibles and commentaries, etc. I particularly was 
interested in trying ESV with Hebrew in parallel, scrolling from Malachi 
to Matthew, which Hebrew would not have. I was not able to cause any 
crashes, except occasionally when installing modules, after modules 
finished installing, BT would quit. But that was not in every case, and 
I would not think that was at all related to the continuous scrolling.
