Not related to bugs, but to the compound word feature in hunspell (and
if the dictionary makes use of it), the flat list can easily grow many
gigabytes, and of course not all of the compounds will make sense.

I.e. you don't only get a list of valid words, but you also get a list
of nonsense-words that nobody is going to write  anyway.
The dictionaries are there to check for mistakes, not check for correctness :-)
