I'm having a problem getting results from Moses, although I think it's really a 
problem with GIZA++; please let me know if there's a better place for GIZA 
questions.
 
When I run Moses instructing GIZA++ to only do model1 and hmm iterations ( 
"--giza-option 
model1iterations=3,hmmiterations=3,model3iterations=0,model4iterations=0" ), 
Moses fails, because GIZA++ doesn't produce an alignment file (the .A3.final 
file).
 
Based on a quick look at the GIZA++ code, this failure is explicit in the code. 
In main.cpp, m3.viterbi(...) is only called at line 652 if at least one 
iteration is set for model 3, 4, 5, or 6, and m3.viterbi(...) is where the code 
for writing the alignment file is called. So I'm wondering if this a bug, or by 
design. Is there some reason that I shouldn't create alignments without using 
model 3 or higher?
