As per the title; running the "Spell" AUCTeX command causes aspell.exe
to crash. My aspell version is the following:

@(#) International Ispell Version 3.1.20 (but really Aspell 0.60.7-20131207)

and I am running a 64-bit Windows 8.1 with MSYS2 (all binaries are
64-bit). Running `ispell-buffer', `ispell-region' and the likes manually
works well, so I am assuming the error lies within AUCTeX. Flyspell
works fine also.

After aspell crashes, Emacs freezes, and I have no idea where exactly to
look for errors.

Thank you for your time.

Well, then that's not an AUCTeX issue at all so I'm closing the bug.
But anyway, I think the major differences between "normal" modes and
tex/latex modes is that with the latter, `ispell-parser' is set to 'tex
which causes spell-checking to ignore latex macros like \documentclass
or environment names.

For example, when you do

  M-: (let ((ispell-parser 'tex)) (ispell-buffer)) RET

in some text-mode buffer, do you also get the crash?  I guess so.  Then
it's probably an aspell on windows issue...

Bye,
Tassilo
