I had a similar symptom(although not neccecarily the same problem).
I couldn't find my error, but these steps might help:
Take the imput that you have gotten back from the curator, clean it
up and make an input file that you can run to test your program,
but remove the top 2 lines that output to the file, and the bottom
parenthesis that match the top 2 lines:
You will want to watch the output as it runs. Your error may not be
in the place you suspect it is located.
After you find the sentence where you are more certain where the
program is hanging, run just that input sentence, and then break
out ( I think its Ctrl-b, but I'm not sure). Then enter the
debugger (the command is (debug)).
Press "h" and you will get a clue as to where the program was
hanging, probably a buggy function from your code, or perhaps
a function that is calling something that isn't quite right.
Then use the command (trace-both function-name) on the suspect
function, and you will see the function's input and output.
This should help you find your error.
Hope this helps
