I reported the problem to appropriate people, and had no indication that the problem was ever clearly identified. My intuition was that it is a Mule related problem, but this was not confirmed. Recently, with a recent Emacs pretest, I removed the --unibyte, and these `ispell' problems did not come back. However, the conditions of my testing are different, as I now use the nice Manuel Serrano's `flyspell' package (included in the pretest). > D> locate-library shows that this is the ispell.el that comes with > D> 20.4.

But recently, Gnus gave me this unexpected message as well. I reported the matter to Lars. -- François Pinard mailto:pinard@iro.umontreal.ca Join the free Translation Project! http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard
