ispell.el

[Daniel R. Grayson]

    In GNU Emacs 20.7.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit)
     of Tue Jan  2 2001 on rhenium
    configured using `configure  i486-linux-gnu'

I was using ispell-buffer in the ordinary way and got an error

        Wrong type argument: window-live-p, nil

I used debug mode and found the expression that is nil, fixable by the
following change, which does fix it on my machine.  I don't understand why
'(previous-window)' should ever be nil.  I don't understand the code well
enough to know whether this is the correct fix.
