bug#47456: 27.1; emacs hangs using aspell in auctex

[Brian Elmegaard]

No, I meant that hunspell 1.7 only worked in emacs if I set the DICTIONARY 
environment variable. 

I tried the following in eshell. 

Without DICTIONARY set in .emacs I get an error:
------------
Welcome to the Emacs shell

c:/Users/brel/Documents $ (ispell-find-hunspell-dictionaries)
Can't find Hunspell dictionary with a .aff affix file
c:/Users/brel/Documents $ setenv DICTIONARY en_US
en_US
c:/Users/brel/Documents $ (ispell-find-hunspell-dictionaries)
Can't find Hunspell dictionary with a .aff affix file
-------------------------------

With DICTIONARY set in .emacs it works:
------------
Welcome to the Emacs shell

c:/Users/brel/Documents $ (ispell-find-hunspell-dictionaries)
c:/Users/brel/Documents $ getenv DICTIONARY
en_US
c:/Users/brel/Documents $ (ispell-find-hunspell-dictionaries)
-------------------------------

There is a comment about hunspell 1.7 in ispell.el on line 1122 in (defun 
ispell-find-hunspell-dictionaries ().
                                 ;; Hunspell 1.7.0 (and later?) won't
                                 ;; show LOADED DICTIONARY unless
                                 ;; there's at least one file argument
                                 ;; on the command line.  So we feed
                                 ;; it with the null device.

Maybe this is related?

I don't see any incompatibilities related to the "+" command in the Aspell docs.

You mean, Aspell didn't work?  Because I thought you said Hunspell did work in 
Emacs.
