Just had a thought. It looks as if CrossStar will crash when given any
word with an initial letter /d and after/! Immediately before the
start of the d letters I had Caeserean spelled with the ae ligature.
Could this conceivably have foxed CrossStar? If so, I may have to
search the text file for any other ligatures, which is certainly not a
task for today!
With best wishes,
Peter.
