ngram-count-kn-int test on cygwin hangs

[Andreas Stolcke]

Ben,

this is probably gcc 2.95.3 generating bad code for x86 targets.
I've seen it happen myself. 

For an explanation and remedy see the bottom of the CHANGES file:

       Warning:

        The function KneserNey::lowerOrderWeight() seems to trigger a compiler
        bug in gcc 2.95.3 with optimization, on the i686-pc-linux-gnu,
        i386-pc-solaris2, and i686-pc-cygwin platforms.  Compile
        lm/src/Discount.cc with OPTIMIZE_FLAGS=-O1 if the "ngram-count-kn-int"
        test in the test/ directory does not terminate.

--Andreas
