[XeTeX] Odd hyphenations

[NEAL DELMONICO]

Here is the log file for the last XeLaTeX run.  In spite of the fact that the 
directory is labeled 2009, I did update to 2010.  I assume the new progs were 
copied over the old ones.  Is that okay, or should I do a clean install and 
update to 2011?  Anyway here is what the log file says.

best

Neal

Before \begin{document}, \lefhyphenmin (the minimal number of     characters 
before a break, 2 by default for English) is 2, and 1     after 
\begin{document}, unless you comment the line     "\setotherlanguage{sanskrit}". 
So something is wrong with     polyglossia, from which I suppose the command 
comes from.

Best,
Paul
