ispell-french does not function on GNU Emacs 22.1.1

ispell-french does not function on GNU Emacs 22.1.1

[NAGATA Yoshihisa]

How to reproduce the bug:

0. Please prepare any text file written in French.
(iso-8859-1 or utf-8)
1. Open the file with Emacs.
2. Choose "Select Francais Dict" from the menu-bar.
3. Do "Spell-Check Buffer"
4. Then, you will have the error message below in
the mini-buffer:
Invalid regexp: "Range striding over charsets"

I thank you in advance for your help.

Yoshi Nagata

P.S.
1. This bug does not appear with command-line ispell.
2. Ispell-french worked with the GNU Emacs 21.3.1. (on openSUSE 10.2)

Would someone please DTRT then ack?
Since this is a bug, the bug ought to be fixed in EMACS_22_BASE.

IIRC this kind of error messages comes from ranges like \310-\313 or the
equivalent with the actual chars, which are no longer allowed in emacs22 for
anything but 7bit chars.

French entries in emacs22 ispell.el do not have this kind of ranges,

 ("francais7"
  "[A-Za-z]" "[^A-Za-z]" "[`'^-]" t nil nil iso-8859-1)
 ("francais"                          ; Francais.aff
  "[A-Za-z\300\302\306\307\310\311\312\313\316\317\324\331\333\334\340\342\347\350\351\352\353\356\357\364\371\373\374]"
  "[^A-Za-z\300\302\306\307\310\311\312\313\316\317\324\331\333\334\340\342\347\350\351\352\353\356\357\364\371\373\374]"
  "[-'.@]" t nil "~list" iso-8859-1)
 ("francais-tex"                      ; Francais.aff
  "[A-Za-z\300\302\306\307\310\311\312\313\316\317\324\331\333\334\340\342\347\350\351\352\353\356\357\364\371\373\374\\]"
  "[^A-Za-z\300\302\306\307\310\311\312\313\316\317\324\331\333\334\340\342\347\350\351\352\353\356\357\364\371\373\374\\]"
  "[-'^`\".@]" t nil "~tex" iso-8859-1)))

May be you have a personal entry using them, or your distro is overriding
default ispell.el values with some old values using these ranges.

Can you please check this?

Checking the output of evaluating

(message "%s" (assoc "francais" ispell-dictionary-alist))

should also help. Note that octal codes will be converted here, so ranges will
be shown with the actual chars.
