> I got this for some very large training file.
> {code:java}
> Computing event counts... Exception in thread "main"
> java.lang.RuntimeException: name spans [27..29) person and [27..27) person
> are overlapped in file: null
> at opennlp.tools.namefind.NameSample.<init>(NameSample.java:79)
> at opennlp.tools.namefind.NameSample.<init>(NameSample.java:97)
> at opennlp.tools.namefind.NameSample.<init>(NameSample.java:101)
> {code}
> With this exception it is impossible to track the error if you have a large
> training file.
>
> Exceptions about mismatching <START:> and <END> tags at least give a little
> bit of context. This patch adds the sentence parts to the exception, making
> it simple to grep the training file for the bad sentence.
