Description:
Emacs on Windows XP
When spelling a buffer from emacs using cygwin ispell, some of the times the
ispell process hangs and need to be aborted.
This did happen with previous emacs versions e.g 24.3
Thank you

Why are you using a Cygwin ispell with a native Windows Emacs? This
combination could have "issues" regarding communications via pipes.
My recommendation is to use a native Windows build of a speller
instead. Hunspell can be found here:

Hi Eli,
Toda, Ma nishma?
I used to use ispell4 for Windows but this was unsupported and old.
Then,I switched to Cygwin aspell because is just worked "out-of-the-box".
It worked ok for a long while w/out a problem and no need for customization.
(emacs just found it and worked with it ok, despite pipes).
The problem appeared with emacs 24.4.
I will try the Window speller you pointed.
Thanks,
Yigal

What customization? Emacs 24.4 doesn't require any customization
besides pointing it to the Hunspell executable.

Hey, it's you who complained that it hangs. If you are okay with
those hangs, it's fine by me. I was just trying to help you get rid
of those hangs.
