It might be a kindness of a fix to ispell if, when it encounters characters it does not understand, it gives the user the chance to 'ok' the mess, via the 'a' command, and then to move on, rather than simply crash.  Perhaps this is asking too much.  I know I am way over my head making such a suggestion.

Thanks for all your great, great Emacs work.
