[sword-devel] Endless looping

[David Haslam]

Hi DM,

I've added a link for the OSIS Zip.

See my new comment in [[MODTOOLS-108] osis2mod fails badly on some Bible translations - CrossWire Tracker: Bugs, Issues, Requests and Plans](https://jira.crosswire.org/browse/MODTOOLS-108?orderby=created+DESC%2C+priority+ASC%2C+updated+DESC)

Aside: IIRC, our issues tracker URL domain is now officially jira.croswire.org
though tracker.crosswire.org also still works (more or less).

Best regards,

David
