I've received a better test case from the Aspell maintainer:
( while true; do echo '!'; echo "-"; echo "%"; echo "^test"; done ) | aspell -a
According to him, it is the constant switching of modes that is causing
a problem. He notes:
"I have narrowed down the problem code. Technically it is not a leak
as the code is still reachable (according to valgrind), which makes
it harder to fix. I will let you know."
It is thus more an Aspell problem, but if it cannot be fixed in Aspell,
I will look whether the Emacs side of communication can be improved.
