Thanks for drawing this to my attention - it's a WWWJDIC matter.
It seems that a utility program that massages the dictionary to assist with glossing was acting strangely. I recompiled it and it's OK now - I think there was possibly a mismatch between the program and a support library. It was last compiled in 2014.

Hi, I'm here to report a bug.
If you paste 退治する or 退治して (but not 退治 alone) into text-glossing, you get this weird response:

退治する from : 退治(P); 対治 【たいじ】 (n,vs) (1) extermination (e.g. of pests, demons, bandits); eliminatradication; destruction; supp; suppression; (2)

What is eliminatradication? What is supp?
