Gentlemen, save the following into a new file (don't just use this
buffer), then with the cursor at the top and flyspell-mode enabled,
"accidentally" hit C-. (C-. runs the command flyspell-auto-correct-word.)

Note how subtly, way down at the bottom of the file, a word (Ching) has
been changed! I'm disabling C-. today. I've finally found what has been
subtly corrupting my files over the years! M-tab is harder to hit by
accident, so I'm leaving it.

In GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.1)
 of 2010-10-16 on elegiac, modified by Debian
 (emacs-snapshot package, version 1:20101016-1)

P.S., what is the best way to disable C-.? global-(un)set-key?

Hmm, I can't reproduce this.  From the top of the file, C-. moves cursor
to "99" on the first line.  Is this dictionary specific?

> P.S., what is the best way to disable C-.? global-(un)set-key?

  (define-key flyspell-mode-map [(control ?\.)] nil)

should do the trick, once Flyspell is loaded.

$ find jidanni.org/comp/configuration/|xargs grep dict
jidanni.org/comp/configuration/.emacs:;(setq ispell-dictionary "american")
jidanni.org/comp/configuration/.emacs:(setq ispell-local-dictionary "american"); #bug 6143

Anyway, my stuff is all in http://jidanni.org/comp/configuration/

You will have to tell me what to put into .emacs.
(setq
 flyspell-mode-hook
 '(define-key flyspell-mode-map [(control ?\.)] nil)
)
of course gives an error because I don't know what I am doing.

Try this ---

(eval-after-load 'flyspell
  '(define-key flyspell-mode-map [(control ?\.)] nil))
