Hi Bert,

Well, I'll put this one on my to-do list. Can you send me a sample file 
for testing?

There is another bug that I am trying to fix. When formatFor utd is 
used, paragraphs are not indented. It has something to do with the new 
inherit option in style->format . 

I think I have a solution to the dumping when the input positions array 
is freed. However, the same problem may crop up elsewhere. You know the 
saying that when you have a bug the most carefully modularized program 
can become a bowl of speghetti. I think the extra variable in liblouis 
may be overstraining something, but I have no idea why it should cause a 
problem.

Christian reminded me that I forgot to change versioning information 
when I added to the interface. That is a bit embarrassing, but couldn't 
cause a bug.
