Unfortunately, this fix is insufficient, kludgey, and wrong. For example,
the s_ending routine (which is where the problem lies) will also accept
"hawkes" for "hawks".
I am working on a correct fix, which I will post when I have tested it.
In the meantime, I recommend that people save the original before
applying Bill's fixes, since I'm not going to put in a routine that
arbitrarily rejects a certain letter sequence regardless of what's in
the dictionary.
