Those are not the results I am getting:

ver. 0.60.2:
  check avg: 13
  sug avg: 4861

ver. 0.60.3:
  check avg: 13
  sug avg: 3884

I modified your program a bit to print the average at the end.  Attached 
is a modified copy.

I don't know why you are getting worse results with Aspell 0.60.3.  You 
should't.

I am using Gcc 3.2.2  20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)
