Incorrect output: specifically, it repeats (most of) the last line of the
intended output.
strace was my first resort, but it did not seem helpful to me;
since the program in question is using a large C++ library to access a
compressed text with a good deal of processing in memory, I could not
figure out how the syscalls mapped to code.
When I asked on the sword-devel list, valgrind was recommended.

The output compresses down to ~4k when bzipped, so I guess it
isn't a big issue.

Now I looked at strace again; here's what I found:
-100k lines of output, compressing to 500 kb (!).
-the relevant bit is likely this:

Which looks like it's going through a loop twice when it reaches the exit condition.
