[Aspell-user] Unhandled error: ... not proper format

[Melvin Hadasht]

Hi,

When the .rws file is corrupted or if it does not suit Aspell (version clash,
etc), aspell and libaspell based applications crash when aspell_new_speller()
is called even when the AspellConfig structure passed to it did not show any
error. The crash in that function shows the error:

Unhandled Error: The file "/usr/local/lib/aspell/fr-40-only.rws" is not in the
proper format.

(To test this, I just put an incorrect file there, but some users seem to have
an old dictionary that triggers the problem).

Is there a way to avoid a crash even if libaspell is fed with an incorrect file?
