[Moses-support] moses decoder results on cygwin and dos

Dear All

Running the moses decoder on cygwin and dos gives slightly different results, even though I’m using the same executable and the same models.

For example, translating from Welsh to English:

Welsh: bydd y bore ‘n oer .
English: the morning will be cold .

moses at cygwin: morning will be cold .
moses at dos: bydd the morning will be cold .

The main problem is that on dos, moses is always returning the first word of the source language, prepended to the translation itself. Easy to strip off but annoying. The translation itself is often slightly better on dos than on cygwin, as above (which is if anything even stranger).

Can anyone account for this strange behaviour? More important, how can I stop the first word of source language returning?

Thanks and best wishes

Ivan
