John,

I've been looking at the code with gdb. The problem seems to be in 
transcribe_paragraph , but don't thak that soo seriouly. 

I notice that bookshare-refreshable.cfg contains a reference to edit 
table.ctb . That file no longer exists. 

I hope we can find this bug soon. The fix is probably simple. The hard 
part is finding it.

John
