Middle initial disappears?

My 4 times great-grandfather is James C. Hannah.

ged2site renders that like so: http://jays.net/genealogy/static-site/James-Hannah-1782.html

He had a son, James Hannah.

In my surname index it says:

Is there some reason the C. is completely dropped from the static-site render? It seems confusing (and data loss) to suppress middle initial? Or I'm just confused? (... or this is some side-effect of my ugly hacks for #112 that won't exist once I can throw those away?)

Patch f62674e added to bug #115 should fix this. Please check.

Apologies, can't check this yet until #112 is stable -- the program crashes before attempting render of I1172.

On my fork branch 112-and-115 98af16d output the middle initial C. is listed in some places, not in others... Which I guess is fine? I'll just close this since I guess it's not important now that the individual filenames aren't the peoples names anymore. And as long as the C. does appear in one place, people can figure that out. And having the different birth year listed most places helps to de-ambiguate. Thanks!
