Is anyone else having a problem looking up words in ispell when using
    wildcard?

    On RedHat 6.0 I get this:

[SP] <number> R)epl A)ccept I)nsert L)ookup U)ncap Q)uit e(X)it or ? for help
Lookup string ('*' is wildcard): cataly*
catalyst
catalysts
catalytic

-- Type space to continue --

    While on RedHat 6.1, I'm returned immediately to
    misspelled-word-pick-an-alternative portion of ispell.

    Here's what's installed:

    $ rpm -qa | grep ispell
    ispell-3.1.20-22
    $ rpm -qa | grep words
    words-2-12

    From the ispell man page:

FILES
    /usr/dict/web2 or /usr/dict/words
        For the Lookup function  (depending  on  the  WORDS
        compilation option).

    $ ls -l /usr/dict/
    total 403
    -rw-r--r--   1 operator wheel      409048 Mar 22  1999 linux.words
    lrwxrwxrwx   1 operator wheel          11 Jun 28 10:12 words -> linux.words

    I tried adding a web2 link but that didn't help.
