Ah well, the '^M' and the funky "Unhandled error" line wrap pointed at
the common Windows line endings problem, but it did seem strange that it
caused aspell to crash. Perhaps the line ending is somewhere else, like
an aspell configuration file (I don't really know anything about aspell)
or (going out on a WAG here) LANG, LC_TYPE, or LC_ALL are getting
Windows line endings in their value (such as if they are set in
cygwin.bat and it was edited by a Windows text editor)?
