loop

Package: aspell
Version: 0.50.5-3
Severity: normal


I know it doesn't say much for me that I discovered this bug, but I found it
nonetheless.  When checking a document, if you choose to Replace all
occurances of a word with the same word, aspell enters into an infinite
loop.  The expected behavior would be to either silently ignore the request,
complain then ignore the request, or to comply with the request but stop
when the replacement wraps back to the starting point.

Thanks
