The bug is in ispell version 2.0.00 and 2.0.01, May 1987 Beta posting.  It is
the main reason why users of version 2 want patch #2, which cures this
problem.  Patch #2 to ispell is available from the comp.sources.misc
archives.  Persons who do not have archive access (few;  the archives are
accessible through both uucp and ftp) may get the patch from me, but please
keep in mind that the money for sending it comes out of my own personal
pocket.
