An FSA that behaves strange

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1st case:
1. load stack strange.fst
2. view net  (*)
3. write prolog strange.prolog
4. read prolog strange.prolog
5. view net  (**)

2nd case:
1. Compile hun_cg2.rlx with fomacg
2. load stack strange.fst
3. define Sentence
4. read prolog R_1_43.prolog
5. define Rule
6. read regex Sentence .o. Rule;  (*)
7. read regex Sentence;
8. random-upper  (**)
9. pop
10. read regex Rule;
11. apply down (**)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
1st case:
The net in (*) is linear; the net in (**) is star-shaped.

2nd case:
The composition in step 6 (*) does nothing -- Sentence remains unchanged. 
However, if you apply down Rule on Sentence's random-upper (one word, since 
it's linear), Rule correctly #X#'s out the non-pronoun readings of "<az>".

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.9.17alpha
Latest fomacg.

The fomacg part is so that you can reproduce the problem. The point is: there 
is sentence where apply down and .o. produces different results, even though 
they shouldn't.

OK, disregard the fomacg part, it was due to the fact that the space wasn't 
part of the wordform symbol. However, the 1st case still stands.
