No, sorry, I meant setting the program name to "hunspell" and then doing
anything spelling-related caused an error.
But! This was a false alarm: the problem is a bug in the hunspell_en
package for Arch linux, which is missing some symlinks, and causing
several other programs to fail:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/59401
It might have been nice if ispell allowed the real error to reach me
(during edebugging I did see something like "no affix file found for
"en_US""), but I suppose it isn't a big deal.
