Well, my ispell, using English dictionary, reports "recenter" as
incorrect. Sorry, I didn't notice it is, indeed, a correct word :) How
about "defun", four lines above?

Yes, that's exactly what it is supposed to be doing.

One thing I can add is that things like "LocalWords" can change the
behaviour of flyspell-buffer. I have a file for which flyspell-buffer
works fine if there are no "LocalWords", and only checks part of the
buffer if I add " LocalWords: Shawn" definition.

Also, it is possible to notice if flyspell-buffer is working OK or
not, by looking at the echo area... flyspell reports percent of buffer
already checked there -- if this goes steadily from 0% to 100%, all is
fine.

But sometimes it seems to behave strangely, like taking 10 seconds to
go from 0% to 10%, then immediately jumping to 40%, and then
immediately reporting "Spell Checking completed." And in such cases
the buffer is not checked correctly.
