Ah well, the '^M' and the funky "Unhandled error" line wrap pointed at the common Windows line endings problem, but it did seem strange that it caused aspell to crash. Perhaps the line ending is somewhere else, like an aspell configuration file (I don't really know anything about aspell) or (going out on a WAG here) LANG, LC_TYPE, or LC_ALL are getting Windows line endings in their value (such as if they are set in cygwin.bat and it was edited by a Windows text editor)? -- Bryan Thrall FlightSafety International bryan.thr...@flightsafety.com -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
