aspell error on Windows

[sander]

There seems to be a quite serious bug on Windows when aspell is not installed (not verified).

I can't see how this happens right now. My XP laptop is not even in a bootable state :-(

The bug is reproducible under Wine so you even don't need to boot Windows ;-)

Booted from rescue CD.
I have mine in "C:\Program\..." without any spaces and if I remove the
Aspell installation I don't see any bug. Could be the space there
which fools me. This is a mystery. WIll do more tests when the XP box
is completely fixed.

You can try it in Wine. Wine supports the same API bugs as Windows
(that's the goal) :o)

It seems it happened when aspell *is* installed but where the application folder is "C:\Program Files\..." and the space in the file path screwed up things. The list structure came out wrong from auto_execok (AutoExecOK). This seems to be a "classical" bug in Tcl: http://wiki.tcl.tk/765
I haven't reproduced the bug so verify someone.

Seems to be fixed in CVS (I updated the daily build manually) when I test under Wine.
