We are in the process of converting from TeX 2.1 :

>This is Common TeX, Version 2.1 (no format preloaded)
>LaTeX Version 2.09 - Released 27 October 1986

to TeX 3.14:

>This is TeX, C Version 3.14t3
>LaTeX Version 2.09 <7 Dec 1989>

(I know , Where HAVE we been...? :)

Anyway we are nearly ready to go production but a faculty member
has shown me a problem with hyphenation. It seems to do some strange
stuff (of course the worst is it chose to hyphenate his last name ie "X-
u" ... also "consist-s" , "pe-riod" ...) .

Is there a fix for this? 

(The version of hyphen.tex is the same in all cases, 

>sumnls ./tex82/TeXmacros/hyphen.tex 
> 36323    28
> 28 -r--r--r--  1 root     staff       27667 Jul 13  1984

Is there a newer one? )

Thanks for any help !
