Collatinus OSX hangs when tagging certain abbreviations

Hello,

Je vous présente mes excuses de vous écrire en anglais, mais ma
grammaire française est horrible. Néanmoins, j'arrive assez bien à la
lecture, alors n'hésitez pas à répondre en français si vous voulez :)

I have encountered some bugs while using Collatinus for OSX 11.1 full.
I have been using the TCP server with a custom python wrapper with the
statistical tagger. Overall, it works very well, and I have tagged
~1.8million sentences. However, certain words cause the server to go
into what looks like an infinite loop (100% CPU utilisation, does not
respond correctly to further tagging requests).

Based on experimentation, I think the main issues are with
abbreviations. Here is the list of words I have discovered so far:

Cn, Sex, Post, Pro, Cap, Ser, Oct, Ap, Kal, Tib, St, Pl

You should be able to replicate the issue by sending a remote tag
request with the client. eg:

/Applications/Collatinus_11.1.app/Contents/MacOS/Client_C11 -P3 "Ap"

Please let me know if you would like any more information. I'd be
happy to test any updated builds on my dataset.

Thankyou for the software!

Sorry for the delay !
Yes, there is an endless loop when a sentence ends with an abbreviation.
It should be patched in the next version 11.3, which is about to be published.
I'll let you know when we publish it.
