[sword-devel] possibly bug of Sword 1.5.8 found?

[Martin Gruner]

Troy,

this is definitely not a StringMgr bug. Please see the attached test program. 
It iterates through ZhEnglish (and you can read that ;), showing the loop. 
This uses the standard Sword StringMgr. Might this be a faulty module? Other 
modules, like WebstersDict, and ZhHanzi, both of which use Unicode heavily, 
do work!

Blessings
