[imp] run away ispell processes

[James]

What is symptomatic of a runaway ispell process?  Just the obvious (a
runaway process) or something else?

One time (Only once, and this user is 'interesting') I had a user run
spellcheck and it deleted all the spaces between words in his email.  So it
made:

"Mary had a little lamb

its fleece was white as snow"

into

"Maryhadalittlelamb

itsfleecewaswhiteassnow"

Random fluke?
