[sword-devel] Notes on the search progress bug

[Troy A. Griffitts]

This is good information.  I have placed a few new things in
swmodule.cpp:
 o A check to only call custom percentage function if the percentage
value is different than last.
 o An error check if the value is smaller than last.

I was wondering if you could make it break and send me the output (only
the first few instances) that you receive.  Thanks!!!  I appreciate you
digging for this.

PS.  Ideally if you could produce it with examples/cmdline/search, that
would be best for me.  Otherwise, I believe it might be a thread issue.
