Error loading arpa format lm

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Try to load arpa lm using evaluate-lm

I have tried with ngrams estimated using both mitlm as well as other tool sets.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

0.000   Loading LM exp/arpa/imd/imd.p7E-8.arpa...
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::invalid_argument'
  what():  Unexpected file format.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Used both latest SVN trunk and 0.4.1 on Ubuntu Linux

Please provide any additional information below.

The problem seems to be on line 293 of NgramModel.cpp

"if (sscanf(line, "\\%u-ngrams:", &i) != 1 || i != o) {"

On line 382 we see the problem, when writing out the n-gram:
"fprintf(lmFile, "\n\\%lu-grams:\n", (unsigned long)o);"

Thus the fix is fairly straight forward, just change line 293 to:
"if (sscanf(line, "\\%u-grams:", &i) != 1 || i != o) {"
