Pronounciation Dictionaries in JAWS 11

Anyone else seen this? In older versions of JAWS I was able to have separate 
JAWS pronunciation dictionaries for various applications, which would be 
enabled with that application. For example in Outlook Express a specific 
file Outlook Express.JDF would be loaded, and any specific pronunciations 
would be active.

With JAWS 11 however, none of the application-specific dictionary files are 
active. the only one that works is the DEFAULT.JDF file.

I can open an application-specific JDF file in the dictionary manager, edit 
it and save it, but it does not get used. Just the default.

Yes, I did run the merge utility, and yes, the files are in my user settings 
folder.

Is this something that was broken, or purposely changed in JAWS 11?

I can reload JAWS 9 and the dictionaries work fine. Load up JAWS 11 again 
and they stop working.
