Having multiple ispell processes with the same language will cause
problems with their personal dictionaries because when ispell saves its
personal dictionary it simply writs the information to disk. If the
personal dictionary changes sense the process started it will over right
the changes. This means that if you have two ispell process and in both
processes the personal dictionary was changed only one of the two
modified personal dictionaries will be saved to disk because the two
ispell processes are unaware of each other and will blindly over right
the changes the other one made.
How do you plan on dealing with this?
