Hi all,
I originally tried to report this via the website, but pressing on the
Edit button after entering the bug title opens a download dialog in
Firefox. (Misconfigured CGI gateway or wrong mime type perhaps?)
Tested in liblouis 2.5.4 and current master (b483d7ae).
Str:
1. Call lou_translateString with UEBC-g2.ctb and the string "---.com".
Result: Freeze, probably an infinite loop.
The original string was a very long Youtube URL, but I distilled it as
far as I could.
I realise the UEBC-g2.ctb table is probably deprecated by now, but
liblouis should still never end up in loops.
I haven't done any debugging yet to see where/why this is freezing. I'll
try to take a look at it when I can, but that could be a while.
Jamie
