Thanks for replying. 
However, I cannot change to *shell* buffer when ispell is running.  It seems that ispell operates under special mode where the keys are redefined and the command C-x b to switch to other buffers doesn't work.

Presumingly ~/.ispell_<language>. This name is also mentioned when ispell has finished and learned at least one new word.


WRT your first problem: when ispell has started to check the buffer and stopped at a misspelled word, change to *shell* buffer and try to find out (with pstree, ps) what are the arguments and what is the environment in which ispell runs. (With lsof you could also check which files it has opened.) Record these findings, save them in a file. Now try it also when you invoke ispell the other way. After having saved the new findings, perform a comparison. Some difference should exist...
