On Redhat 8 it does not change anything that I can tell. Best I can
tell the program is in some infinite loop, as I never get a prompt.
RH7.2 is no problem, and I don't think RH8 originally behaved this
way.
My standard aspell work-around is to create a text doc ( sgml ->
single page html -> text), and spell check that, keeping the source
file open at the same time. This is a bit kludgy, but has the benefit
of not spell checking embedded comments, etc. No problems with text
files/aspell here.
