Not positive, but I think I had the spellchecker crash on Win ME when I was using that. OS version is one possible explanation, but we should also look at whether Uwe's TeX setup is different from ours -- although I'm not sure where to look. Switching between aspell and ispell doesn't make the bug go away. I tried upgrading to the latest GNU version of aspell (by swapping in its DLL in the LyX bin directory, and putting its data files various places), but no matter what I did LyX said it could find the English ('en') dictionary and bailed out of spelling. So I can't tell if it's a problem with the version of aspell we have.
Thanks Paul for confirming that. Uwe is not seeing it under win 2000 so may be it is a Win XP related problem.
Yes, I get the same thing (on Win XP). I'm not positive, but I may have also had LyX crash when spell-checking a second document even if the first was error free.
At any rate, I've learned to close all but one document when running spellcheck.

I'll wait and see if anyone else confirms it on other platforms before i file a bug report.
