Hi, I recently noticed that the German ('DE') variant of Lingua::Stem does not seem to terminate for a specific input, the word form 'anstrengendstem'. The problem also occurs for similar word forms such as 'aufregendstem', so I assume that the suffix plays a role. Here is a minimal example that illustrates the problem: use Lingua::Stem; my $stemmer = new Lingua::Stem({'-locale' => 'DE'}); $stemmer->stem("anstrengendstem"); print STDERR "I'm never reached!\n"; exit 0; I'm using Lingua-Stem-0.84 on perl, v5.10.1 (*) built for x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi. I consider this a rather critical bug, as it is hard to protect against failure of termination, and the consequences are severe (especially within server applications). Cheers, Jeremy

This is actually a bug in Text::German. Lingua::Stem::De is just an API wrapper for it. You will need to refile the bug with the maintainer for Text::German (Ulrich Pfeifer <pfeifer@wait.de>) to get it resolved. - Benjamin Franz On Mon, 23 Aug 2010, Jeremy Jancsary via RT wrote: Show quoted text
