That's strange.  AUCTeX's Spell command simply calls `ispell-buffer' for
any buffer displaying a file belonging to the current document.  So if
`ispell-buffer' works, i.e., aspell doesn't crash, then I can't see why
it should crash for the Spell command.

When emacs is frozen, you can usually get it responsive again by typing
`C-g' possibly a few times.  And then you could check if you get some
more information.  How did you conclude that aspell is crashing in the
first place?  Has some error message been printed?  If so, that will
also be appended to the *Messages* buffer.  If would be helpful if you
could post the exact error message if there's one.

Bye,
