Package: inorwegian

Severity: important
Tags: patch

This error is not in 2.0.10-3.2, as far as I can tell from the buildd
logs.  Building the ispell data files for the norwegian spell checker
fail with this error when building nn.mch:

  Eliminating non-optimal affixes.
  Generating output word list.
  Hash table overflowed by 3 words
  Segmentation fault

See for example

with the crash.  The error do not cause the build to fail because
munchlist do not return an error when ispell crash like this.

The crash causes a lot of words to be missing from the nynorsk version
of the spell checker.  I tracked down the problem and fix yesterday, and
commited a fix upstream.  The diff is available from
<URL: 
https://alioth.debian.org/scm/viewvc.php/src/spell-norwegian/Makefile?root=spell-norwegian&r1=1.155&r2=1.156

and will be included in version 2.2 of spell-norwegian.

The root cause is a misfeature in ispell, which crashes when given too
many words to process.  The fix is to cut the word list in two and
process the two parts independently.

JFYI.
