Have you ever run aspell in interactive mode (user interface) afaik the 
commands to aspell are the same there as in pipe mode so abbort schould be 
`b' and quit or exit schould be `x'.

Hm I do not know how that is done in pipe  mode but what about word which 
to aspell do not seem misspelled but are as they do not fit??
Aspell itselve is only a word by word spellchecker and any further 
functionality is provided by framework afaik.

Hm there are other things too still spliting word instead of combining them 
like hyphenation .... so might be while fixing them o 0 and l 1 mixing 
could be fixed than too.

Do you have an example file to use to test in order to figure out wether 
this is a common problem (system independent) or windows only.
