I didn't get the results you described, so I tried simply using the 
"options->enter debugg on error..." option and then got the following 
results,

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
  re-search-forward(nil 3 t)
  ispell-get-line(2 3 3)
  byte-code("\bb^[,HF Ç^[(B È \nÆ^[\x1c\x1d\x1e\x18\x19\x1e\x19\x0e\x1aÉ=§

I'm not sure where to go from here...

Jeff.
