These are two different errors we talk about. The SystemError you
get on win32 and I get on a PowerBook is perhaps not the best name
for an exception to raise (maybe IOError would be better). But what
I get on a MacBook Pro is a Deallocation error (not a Python excep-
tion) when terminating the script or calling
pyHnj.Hyphen("hyphen.mashed").hyphenate() multiple times... It's the
latter one that confuses me, because I'm getting it only on a (Intel)
Mac Book Pro, but not on a (PowerPC) PowerBook.

I would like to know if anybody else with an Intel Mac can reproduce
this?

Regards,

Dinu
