I'm not sure my troubles with the compact phrase table format were related to placeholders. I experienced segments disappearing from STDOUT when I enabled the *-print-alignment-info* and -*report*-*segmentation* options (https://www.mail-archive.com/moses-support%40mit.edu/msg11910.html on 3/15/2015). During the same timeframe, there were other reports of compact format stability problems, and the effort to update that code to run on Windows appeared overwhelming. So, we took the easy path simply reverted to the legacy binarized file formats. I never finished troubleshooting the output problems.

Re placeholders, initially they looked like a good thing when they were introduced in R2. We found that we can achieve the same results with pre- and post-processing in other ways. So, I've not kept up with how the native Moses placeholders work anymore.

I'm not using mosesserver yet, just moses.

One previous report was here:

https://www.mail-archive.com/moses-support%40mit.edu/msg12355.html

But I'm not sure if this was with moses 2 or 3. There was a later report
from Tom Hoar with similar information.
