Package: freetalk
Version: 0.5-2
Severity: normal

After invoking freetalk 0.5, I need to press CTRL-C after waiting one moment:

 $ freetalk
 [ 1 sec ]
 CTRL-C
 Loading dictionary [/usr/share/dict/words]... [320577] words

and normal operation begins.
This even happens, when I remove my '.freetalk'-folder:

 $ mv .freetalk/ freesomething
 $ freetalk
 Welcome to freetalk! Running for the first time?
 Performing some one-time initializations ...
 [ waiting ... ]
 CTRL-C
 Loading dictionary [/usr/share/dict/words]... [320577] words

and everything goes smoothly from here.
