[Aspell-user] aspell 0.60.6.1 returning suggestions for a correctly spelled word

[Sean Hope (shope)]

Hello,

We use aspell as the basis for a spell checker of our source code. Recently our build machines have been updated, and the version of aspell present on them has changed. The newer version has some different behaviour, and I'm wondering if it is a bug, a feature, or something I can workaround.

The problem is that longer words that are spelled correctly, are being indicated as incorrectly spelled, with the requested word, one of the suggestions.

For example, the word "transmission" shows this behaviour.

Working:
========

echo "transmission" | /usr/bin/aspell -l en --dict-dir="/auto/gdp-tools/uspell/en_dict/" pipe

@(#) International Ispell Version 3.1.20 (but really Aspell 0.60.3)
*


Non-Working:
============

echo "transmission" | /usr/bin/aspell -l en --dict-dir="/auto/gdp-tools/uspell/en_dict/" pipe

@(#) International Ispell Version 3.1.20 (but really Aspell 0.60.6.1)
& transmission 7 0: transmission, trans mission, trans-mission, transmissions, transmission's, retransmission, transition

Any advice?

Thanks,
Sean
