Bug Description
Binary package hint: emacs
Flyspell freezes emacs when the buffer is large enough.
To reproduce from a fully patched edgy install:
1) Install emacs, ispell, and spell
2) Run emacs
3) From the menu, select Help->Emacs News
4) Meta x flyspell-buffer
5) Emacs freezes and has to be killed from the terminal
Expected result:
Should spell check the whole buffer rather than freezing emacs.
Workaround:
The current version of flyspell is 1.7i. Install the latest version of flyspell (1.7m) in your load-path and the bug no longer occurs. It is here:
