O'Laugh and all--
Whatever it was, I didn't have FAKIR or HAKIM on my rack.

I am very skeptical that there's any bug here. Several times
throughout Quackle's history I've had it play millions of games for
various purposes and audited the words played including hooks for
phonies. In the early days there were some, and I caught a few bugs
this way. But now I can run Quackle arbitrarily many selfplay games
without any nonwords showing up in the logs.
There were also previously some errors in the Collins dictionary due
to my sloppy process of typing/scanning the hardcover CSD I got in
London in 2005. HAKIR was never in any copy of my Collins, and the
current cswapr07 lexicon is correct. I think that Stu probably misread
FAKIR or HAKIM, but we'll never know for certain.
Quackle does have still have plenty of bugs, but people do also
misreport bugs, so in the future I'd encourage people to send
screenshots# or .gcg files, since this will make sure they're taken
100% seriously and might provide addition information to help in
fixing the problem.
