This one took me some time to figure out so I thought I'd pass it along.
I recently compiled ispell for 386/ix 2.0.2 with no changes except for
the Makefile and config.X files, (this is normal installation). When I
tried to use ispell.el with gnu emacs (18.55) it simply wouldn't work
right.
As it turns out, there's no real bug in ispell.el, but rather a BSD
verses System V arg difference in the Unix "tr" filter. I think this
applies to all System V implementations but have only tested it on
the 386/ix 2.0.2 version.
Here's a context diff for ispell.el, (just a one line change):
