Relex throws exception running OpenCog chatbot/behavior tree

[eddiemonroe]

On a fresh installation of HEAD, running

./dev.sh --oc

results in java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsExceptions in the relex server.

This leads to "The Relex server seems to have crashed!" messages in and aborting of the OpenCog scripts in the "cog" and "tel" windows.

Here is the output from the "relex server" window:

The relex server crashes when parsing a sentence, looks like it's related to this: opencog/relex@2c18f5a

[eddiemonroe]

Thanks @leungmanhin, I filed an issue in the relex repo. opencog/relex#256

(reverting to previous commit in relex resolves the issue)

[leungmanhin]

I think this is fixed by opencog/relex@301695c
