ispell-word and ispell-buffer use different methods. For efficiency
reasons ispell-buffer is not a loop of ispell-word calls but uses
ispell-process-line and deals with lines.

For a long time I did not see misalignment errors for Emacs+aspell
(basically after communication was switched to utf-8) and I thought
this was really fixed. They happened when spellchecking utf-8 files
with a dictionary with unibyte encoding and using unibyte
communication, when the file has a char that cannot be represented
in the unibyte encoding.

Can you please provide a minimal example file showing this problem?

Also, please have a look at how the spellchecking process is started
(relevant entry in 'ps -aux' call from a console) in case there is
something strange there.

Thanks for your feedback,
