Re: [orca-list] Adding new pronunciations causes a hang

Thanks Javier!  The fact that you can reproduce it with rev 4432 seems 
to eliminate a possible suspect: the fix for bug #562060.  4432 is the 
rev just prior to that fix going in.

Argh.  I dunno.  I'll start grasping at straws.  Can you try different 
releases of Orca to see if they problem disappears at any point?
