Parser kills first token of each sentence

[GoogleCodeExporter]

We build an implementation of the mate tools version 3.5 with input injection 
of the CollReader format (one token per line, separated by a line break per 
sentence). 
The Parser however shows some strange behaviour, where it deletes the first 
token of each sentence and starts with the second. This is a relatively new 
issue and might has something to do with the input format/encoding. The 
Lemmatizer and POS-tagger however work fine. All the data is encoded in UTF-8.

Example output (Der Buchstabe A hat eine durchschnittliche Häufigkeit von 
6.51%.):

Just for comparison I ran the previous version 3.3. It seem to work with this 
version. Thus I limit this issue to 3.5 only!

I fixed that problem and found a accuracy issue related with this. I changed 
the interal interfaces to check if a root token was included if the input does 
not include a root token then it adds one in a consisten way. Root tokens 
should *not* anynore included. 

I uploaded a new version 3.6. Do not use version 3.5 with the internal 
interfaces.
