ispell-local-dictionary is nil on a fresh startup (as it should be),
then "american" after the first spellcheck. ispell-dictionary, OTOH,
is "nynorsk" on a fresh startup and "american" after the first
spellcheck. According to the description of this variable, it should
be used to set ispell-local-dictionary to "nynorsk"...

Possible completions are:
american			   bokmal
british				   canadian
default				   english
norsk				   norsk7-tex
nynorsk

I tried emptying my .emacs from all but (ispell-change-dictionary
"nynorsk" t), no change... the dictionary starts being "nynorsk" and
changes to "american" after one ispell-check.
