OK, thanks for the info.

Good question. "Bad" habit ;-) of trying to update all of my
locally copied packages (downloaded from Internet) from time to
time...
Why am I not relying on CVS trunk?
In fact, I'm only using pre-compiled and packaged versions:
o the one from Alexandre Vassalotti for Ubuntu, and
o the one available on ourcomments.org for Windows.
And the reasons I have some packages locally copied are that:
o Both Emacs versions are not always in sync' (up to some
weeks ago, the W32 version was still Emacs 22, for
example), having then different packages with them.
o Some packages are easily included in Ubuntu (via Emacs
goodies) while they aren't in Windows.
o Though, the Emacs goodies packages are well a lot out of
date (color-theme, etc.)...
Because of this, I have some locally accessible packages that I
am accessing from both Emacs (only one local copy, only one
dot-emacs file).
That being said, I dropped the latest `flyspell.el' file from my
local repository, and yes - it seems to resolve my problems...
Best regards,
Seb
