[comp.sys.sun] SunOS 4.1, SPARCstation, spellin program

lwv27@cas.BITNET (05/30/90)

When I attempt to use the spellin program under SunOS 4.1, it sits for
quite a few minutes (more than 5) and then core dumps.  I do not have
access to the source at this time, but was wondering if anyone out there
has discovered a patch for this problem.  Thanks!

I had similar problem with texspell. I found that the lines in the file
were longer than the speller can handle. Inserting [CR]s solved the
problem.
