Description gil 2005-05-02 13:00:23 UTC 
If you give a random option to the "spell" command in a terminal the program segmentation faults and dumps core, If you open the core file in gdb it shows that the program seg faulted at fgets(). Which this shouldnt happen...

How-To-Repeat: -bash-2.05b$ spell something_random_here
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
-bash-2.05b$

Please take this up with the ispell/spell developers; FreeBSD does not
separately develop this third-party software.

Problem exists due to freebsd-local patches which provide a 'spell' 
command.  I'll fix it.
