Hello,

We use aspell as the basis for a spell checker of our source code. Recently our 
build machines have been updated, and the version of aspell present on them has 
changed. The newer version has some different behaviour, and I'm wondering if 
it is a bug, a feature, or something I can workaround.

The problem is that longer words that are spelled correctly, are being 
indicated as incorrectly spelled, with the requested word, one of the 
suggestions.

For example, the word "transmission" shows this behaviour.

Working:
========

> echo "transmission" | /usr/bin/aspell -l en 
> --dict-dir="/auto/gdp-tools/uspell/en_dict/" pipe
@(#) International Ispell Version 3.1.20 (but really Aspell 0.60.3)
*


Non-Working:
============

> echo "transmission" | /usr/bin/aspell -l en 
> --dict-dir="/auto/gdp-tools/uspell/en_dict/" pipe
@(#) International Ispell Version 3.1.20 (but really Aspell 0.60.6.1)
& transmission 7 0: transmission, trans mission, trans-mission, transmissions, 
transmission's, retransmission, transition

Any advice?

Thanks,
Sean
