Well, I should moderate that statement.

It doesn't exactly fix the bug as I'm now getting this instead:

    1. f. Unidad lingüística , dotada generalmente de significado , que
    se separa de las demás mediante pausas potenciales en la
    pronunciación y blancos en la escritura .

    2. f. Representación gráfica de la palabra hablada .

    3. f. Facultad de hablar .

IOW, whitespace is added even if the following character is
punctuation...
