There are two possible fixes to this.  z36.c:1070 reads

    /* if a - ended the run, hyphenate there only */
    if( key[stop] == CH_HYPHEN )

This could be changed to either:

    /* if a - ended the run, hyphenate there only */
    if( key[stop] == CH_HYPHEN && key[stop+1] != '\0' )

or to

    /* if a - ended the run, hyphenate there only */
    if( key[stop] == CH_HYPHEN )
    { if( key[stop+1] == '\0' )
        continue;

The former will cause Lout to hyphenate words that ends with hyphen
(in Dominikus' example "nik-" from "Informationstechnik-" is moved on
to the next line).  The latter will cause Lout to treat the word as
unhyphenable (huh?).

Hope that helps.
Season greetings to everyone.

SY, Uwe
