Thank you for your bug report and sorry, that I didn't respond earlier
to it.

In the meantime I checked this myself using ispell, aspell, and
hunspell on a file containing "das das" and none of them reported it
being a fault.

To be honest, I didn't try myspell-de-de, since this package no longer
contains a dictionary, but is a dummy package, which pulls in
hunspell-de-de, which is an improved replacement for it.

Since you didn't mention how you use the myspell dictionary, I expect,
that this isn't a bug in the dictionary but a problem in some grammar
checker, that you use.

Please tell me, whether this issue still persists for you and how you
use it (which program/library you use it with).

If you don't object, I tend to close this bug report...

Greetings
Roland
