He's wrong -- the problem still exists. But it's easy to fix.

Nope, aspell 0.29.1 shows the same behavior. If, however, you
apply this patch:

+++ aspell-.29.1/src/aspell.cc Wed Feb 23 18:28:28 2000

while ((c = FILE.get()) != EOF) {
- file += c;
+ file += (char) c;
}
}
aspell compiles and appears to work (it returns instantly on my
one sentence testfile, and works interactively with a longer, more
complicated file).
BTW, there's still no source in incoming -- I grabbed it from
Kevin's site.
