[developers] characterization

[Ben Waldron]

Sorry, I'm off work ill at the moment. I'll get back to you fully when 
I'm better, but very briefly: things are not yet set up such that 
(character) positions are passed from ChaSen into the LKB when using the 
JACY grammar, and I'll have to take a look to see what might be causing 
your stack overflow.

(Aside: I failed to mention in my previous email that users of the 
internal LKB preprocessor need to call the 
x-read-preprocessor/x-preprocess functions in place of 
read-preprocesor/preprocess in order to pass character positions to the 
LKB parser.)
