Hi Greg,

I'm not following your thoughts this evening.  Are you referring to the
"Program aborting." message followed by the "Initial x value ..."
message, i.e. bogotune not aborting like it said it would or something
else?  

If that's what you meant, I've found a couple of places where error
conditions from set_wordlist_directory() are ignored :-<

If something else, remind me.  Which version are you referring
to as working properly?

Thanks.

David
