Ah, An old bug...

Hrm. The contents of openoffice.org-hyphenation-de is the same as shipped in the OOo source tree... SO the only difference might be the use from
us of a new version of the hyphenation libary. Can you check since when it happend (if my theory holds this should start happening with 1:2.3.1-1)

Rene
