Okay - so I didn't read the man page as well as I should have :-( . It
turns out that under Ultrix (and perhaps pre-SunOS 4.1 Sparcs - I HAVE
verified it on Sun386i) spellin reads a set of plain words and writes out
the hash list. But under SunOS 4.1, the spelling code is from System 5.4
apparently. And the problem there is that spellin now takes hash codes
and writes out a compressed spelling list. A new program called hashmake
is now the program which apparently reading in plain text words and
generating hash table output.
I have not received any specifics yet, but I will be experimenting with
adding code for SunOS 4.1 systems which call the new haskmake program
first, to see if that makes a difference.
