Thanks, I'll look at this one.

And this one, which also sounds like a packaging issue.  I have already
more-or-less duplicated this one here (going from 1.7.beta3 to 1.7.rc1;
not starting with 1.6.5.1).

That one sounds more like an "upstream" bug, and I'd think a bug in the
sword 1.5.11 library, not in BibleTime...

Confirmed: I just installed DRCgb here and diatheke segfaults when
trying to use it.  So I would say this is almost certainly not a
BibleTime bug.

Questions arising:

(1) Is sword-1.5.11 *supposed* to support GenBook bibles?

(2) Are there any GenBook bibles out there that are not in beta?
