   When I try an ispell-??????? command it says 
   'starting new ispell process', then
   Warning - ispell process died
   Process ispell is not running


That is a bug in the init proces code for ispell, my working version
of that function is:


(defun ispell-init-process ()
   "Check status of 'ispell' process and start if necessary."
   (if (and ispell-process
            (eq (process-status ispell-process) 'run))
       (save-excursion
          (set-buffer ispell-out-name)
          (erase-buffer))
       (message "Starting new ispell process...")
       (and (get-buffer ispell-out-name) (kill-buffer ispell-out-name))
       (and ispell-process (process-kill-without-query ispell-process))
       (setq ispell-process (apply 'start-process "ispell"
                                   ispell-out-name ispell-program-name
                                   (if ispell-dictionary
                                       (list "-p" ispell-dictionary "-A")
                                       (list "-A"))))
       (sit-for 3)))
