Hi Brianna,

The nbest-rover-acoustic test is broken in SRILM 1.5.3. For more info
on that see
www.speech.sri.com/projects/srilm/mail-archive/srilm-user/2007-September/10.html

I can duplicate the output you got for the ngram-count-lm-limit-vocab
test if I put gawk 3.1.5 in my PATH instead of 3.1.3.

(It's possible that something else is the reason other than the gawk
version.  I changed the environments in a way that may have changed
more than just the gawk version.)

Are you sure you don't have 3.1.5 installed somewhere where SRILM
scripts might be finding it?  I believe some of the SRILM tools find
gawk using your PATH, while others will use the value of GAWK set in
common/Makefile.machine.whatever.

Please let us know if you learn anything more.

Regards,
David
