I have identified (and solved) the problem insofar as my module is concerned.
The reason was a spurious quotation tag with a wrong type of ID inside my text,
caused by usfm2osis.pl, transforming an equally spurious ^ in the original text.
The way I solved my problem was as follows:
1) I did not transform my whole module osis file in one go, but created an osis
file for every single book.
2) I used osis2mod in augment mode (whereby I highlighted another bug - but
coming to that later) and added each osisfile until the crash stopped me.
I then used the most explicit debug setting:
osis2mod myprojectdir myosisfile.xml -a -d 1023
With this I managed to get close to the crash point and then looked simply
through my text at taht point until i found the problem and what had caused it.
Deleting this one spurious tag made my problem go away.
Which leaves me with two concerns:
1) The augmentation mode is advertised as creating any necessary non existing
files. It does not. Everything works if you simply touch create the necessary
files. In my case, doing a not compressed module this was
touch ot nt ot.vss nt.vss
I guess this should be straight forward to fix. The error message is one of
missing permissions.
I, too, think this should create the files if they do not exist. I don't
think it ever worked that way.
The typical pattern is to not use -a on the first input and use -a on
the subsequent ones.
I think you could have called osis2mod without the -a on each fragment,
if your purpose were to find the trouble spot.
-a has some other short-comings. For example it does not work well with
compression, if at all.
2) I think the crash on a spurious and inappropriate tag is probably not ok. A
more graceful exit and pinpointing the problematic thing might be a better
behaviour. But I know now my problem and am happy as such.
Can you send me an short fragment that causes the problem? I'll add it
to my test cases. (Which I have yet to publish to the wiki.)
