[Aspell-user] crash from: aspell -a --encoding=utf-8 --lang=fi

1. aspell --version
@(#) International Ispell Version 3.1.20 (but really Aspell 0.60.2)

2. ldd /opt/sfw/bin/aspell
        libaspell.so.15 =>       /opt/sfw/lib/libaspell.so.15

(/usr/local is a symbolic link to /opt/sfw on this Solaris 8/SPARC
system.)

3. I _think_ aspell was downloaded from sunfreeware.com and the Finnish
   dictionary was downloaded from ftp.gnu.org (aspell6-fi-0.7-0.tar.bz2).

5. What next?  I just noticed that the aspell manual says this about the
   --encoding option:

        Valid values include, but not limited to, iso-8859-*, utf-8,
        ucs-2, ucs-4.

   But check out the variation in these /opt/sfw/lib/aspell-0.60/*.dat
   files:

da.dat:charset iso8859-1
de.dat:charset iso-8859-1
en.dat:charset iso8859-1
es.dat:charset iso8859-1
fi.dat:charset iso-8859-1
fr.dat:charset iso8859-1
it.dat:charset iso8859-15
nb.dat:charset iso8859-1
nn.dat:charset iso8859-1
