Please tell more details about the meaning of this.  Do you mean you
wanted to start Hunspell with 2 dictionaries so that it could
spell-check text that mixes 2 different languages?  Or did you mean
something else?  IOW, the "with two default dictionaries" part
confuses me.

I don't immediately see anything wrong here.  Does spell-checking work
if you set it up to use just one default dictionary, as usual?

Thanks.
