[sword-devel] Bug in Torrey Module / RawLd.cpp

[Chris Little]

I just fixed this.  It looks as if the file got mangled during upload and
dropped some of the 'I' section causing a lot of problems for all following
articles.  All is now well, and the version number has been incremented to
reflect an update in the InstallManager.
