Bug in german stemmer ?

Hi all,

I am using the lucene German Stemmer/Analyzer. There seems to be a
bug
within the GermanStemmer class. As far as i understand the algorithm
the
count variable "substCount"
should be set to 0 before processing the next token.
In the current implementation, the stemmed result will differ for the
same
terms after a while.
The easiest solution would be to reset that counter variable in the
method:
"private StringBuffer substitute( StringBuffer buffer )" .

best regards
Bernhard

This email sounds right. substCount variable always increases and
never gets reset to zero and it seems that it should be reset before
every substitution, so that its value reflects the number of characters
substituted in each token.

I will commit the fix now.
Gerhard, please correct me if I'm wrong.
