John you were correct. I changed back to the old function in the 2.5.3 release
and I went from 8600 back translation problems to 400. I don't know what else
it breaks but should I go ahead and make a diff of this and send it to the
list? It sure looks much better.

The problem is in the function isEndword in lou_backTranslate.c . It is
supposed to determine whether a potential contraction is followed by
something that could be part of a word. It was working. However, when I
tried to fix some reported bugs sometime last year that evidently made
it worse.
