endings and synonyms are generated a bit differently, and most importantly are built in a temporary spot then moved into place, so they don't collide with any existing databases until the new one is complete. soundex and accents use the same code as metaphone for writing the database from the generated word list, so they'd all potentially have the same problem. The scrambling of data may not have been bad enough to cause a segfault (yet) but may have led to corrupt databases. If you had existing databases for accents and/or soundex in place, built by 3.1.x, before regenerating them for 3.2.0b5, you should remove them and try again, just as for metaphone. -- Gilles R.
