As currently written (darcs current), dokuwiki doesn't behave properly for aspell use due to how it is doing pipe handling. It appears to be related to content partially - likely due to the replacements of \n that are taking place. Bsaically, it winds up hanging, almost certainly due to the pipe buffer size interaction with the size of the data being sent to aspell. As soon as I wrapped aspell with a temp-file writer and change it to read from the temp file instead, it works reliably. Quickest way to fix would be to have aspell write or read from a temp file instead of bidirectional pipes, alternatively, fork and have a dokuwiki child process write to aspell, but read the output from aspell in the parent process. Either of those approached should solve the buffering issue. Interestingly, it doesn't appear to occur on larger topic sizes... For the time being, the wrapper approach is working quite well for me. -- Nathan ------------------------------------------------------------ Nathan Neulinger EMail: nneul@xxxxxxx University of Missouri - Rolla Phone: (573) 341-6679 UMR Information Technology Fax: (573) 341-4216 -- DokuWiki mailing list - more info at http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:mailinglist
