ISPELL still not working in GNU Emacs

Thanks everybody, who already answered. I got patch2 for ISPELL and my
current version (2.0.02) still doesn't work. But I isolated the problem:

Emacs hangs around in the following part of   ispell-word:

(while   (progn    ;; wait until we have a complete line
           (goto-char (point-max))
           (/= (preceding-char) ?\n))
   (accept-process-output ispell-process))


I don't speak lisp, but sounds to me, as if it doesn't find a newline?
If I run ispell from outside Emacs, then there is a newline after it's
output (I piped it to a file and looked at it).

What's wrong????

            
Thanks

Fritz
