Enable debug-on-error via 'M-x toggle-debug-on-error', then start flyspell-mode
again and examine the error.
If that does not work, try edebug. Open the file where flyspell-mode is
defined. Reeval the function with 'C-u C-M-x' and again, start flyspell-mode.
Now you are in edebug-mode. Hit Space till you get the error. Press 'i' to
enable debugging of the called function after point.
