I was using xwebster and it worked one moment. The next moment
I recieved the message
The webster server appears to be broken.
Please try again, and if it doesn't work,
send mail to bug-sipb to let the SIPB know.
I tried again to no avail.
What word were you trying to look up? The webster server has a
problem with longer words that it does not know or that are spelled
incorrectly. If you try a word and it does not work, and then you
look up the word "run" and it works, then it is likely that you are
trying to look up a word that is misspelled.
