Package: link-grammar
Version: 4.2.2-1
Severity: minor

Feeding linkparser an overlength sentence causes it to complain about
the length, citing a maximum of 70 words. Putting aside the fact that
this limit should be raised, it also gives a sentence length that is
clearly incorrect, "1433716920":

  linkparser> This declaration is a blatant and improper attempt by IBM to 
present yet further legal arguments on their discovery sanction motion 
arguments that, in fact, underscore IBMs efforts to use its motion to obtain a 
merits determination on the scope of specificity required for actionable 
technological disclosures of a method or concept or other know-how and confirm 
that Davis and IBM are capable of undertaking such a merits analysis (however 
improper and incorrect) even as to the very disclosure (Item 146) that they 
previously featured as supposedly insufficient information for them to evaluate 
(e.g., ΒΆ 45).
  Sentence length (1433716920 words) exceeds maximum allowable (70 words)

Clearly that sentence has 96 words in it, if you count "know-how" as one
word. In any case, the print statement should be fixed to show the
correct word count.
