ispell-grep-options

[Roland Winkler]

Symptoms:

The function lookup-words fails if ispell-grep-options is an empty
string (i.e., no options are specified for grep). In this case, the
empty options string is interpreted as the pattern grep is
searching. And the argument WORD of lookup-words is interpreted as
one of the files grep is supposed to search.
(On GNU Linux systems, one can also replace the empty string by "-e".
I don't know about grep on other systems.)
