In GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (i386-redhat-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
 of 2002-09-18 on tempus
configured using `configure  i386-redhat-linux --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc --datadir=/usr/share --includedir=/usr/include --libdir=/usr/lib --libexecdir=/usr/libexec --localstatedir=/var --sharedstatedir=/usr/com --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --with-gcc --with-pop --with-sound'

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

1. emacs -q  ispell-bug.tex &

where ispell-bug.tex contains the following:

======8<==========8<============8<=====================
\documentclass{report}
\begin{document}
grux
an orange \ref{one-dictionary}
\end{document}
======8<==========8<============8<=====================

2. M-x ispell-buffer RET
3. SPC (to leave "grux" unchanged)
Message: Spell-checking done
4. M-x ispell-buffer RET
5. SPC (to again leave "grux" unchanged)

This yields an error:

ispell-process-line: Ispell misalignment: word `sgml' point 86; probably incompatible versions

$ /usr/bin/ispell --version
Ispell compatibility script for Aspell.
Usage: /usr/bin/ispell [options] -a|-l|-v[v]|<file>

This is from aspell-0.33.7.1-9 on Red Hat.  If I add

1.5 M-: (setq ispell-program-name "aspell") RET

I still get the same error.

$ aspell --version
@(#) International Ispell Version 3.1.20 (but really Aspell .33.7.1 alpha)

(I haven't tried with a real ispell.)  I expected it to just work
without any errors, at least when I told it to use aspell.

Please do try this with a real Ispell (and please use the latest Ispell 
3.2.06).  If that works, then I think it's really an aspell bug, not an 
Emacs bug.

I have also been annoyed by the "misalignment" error a few times, so I was
interested to see this advice. It surprised me a little, though, because
aspell doesn't give any error when run from the command line, so I always
thought it must be an Emacs bug.

Anyway, just for the record, while I get the same error with aspell .33.7.1
alpha, the latest version of aspell, namely 0.50.2, works fine. Ispell
3.2.06 also works fine.

In that case, all we need to do is document it in etc/PROBLEMS.
Would someone like to write an entry?

I would be happy to (PROBLEMS already suggests upgrading Ispell, but not
Aspell), but, having just tried a more thorough spell-check test, I'm not
so sure.

Aspell 0.50.2 called via Emacs certainly performs correctly in the simple
test case in the original bug report, and Aspell .33.7.1 alpha certainly
fails with the misalignment error.

I have just tried spell-checking a large LaTeX document from Emacs using
both versions of Aspell. The new version does not seem to spell-check the
whole document: if I add a deliberate mistake near the end and run
`ispell-buffer', the error is not found. No errors from Emacs, just a
"Spell-checking done" message. The spell check seems to finish too quickly
for the whole document to have been checked.

If I use `ispell-region' on a small region around the error, or use the old
Aspell, the mistake is found.

It's surely worse if a spell-check silently misses mistakes, rather than
throwing up a "misalignment" error - at least that can be worked around (to
some extent) with ispell-region. So I don't know if it's good to recommend
upgrading Aspell. Maybe I haven't compiled the new Aspell version properly,
or something, but in all other respects it seems OK.

Have you sent an Aspell bug report for the new bug?
If not, would you please do that?  The maintainer
can't fix it if he doesn't know about it.
