Subject: 26.1; ispell nil reference error when dictionary not found
Date: Sun, 24 Feb 2019 10:27:09 -0800

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

On the first call to ispell-word, if ispell-set-spellchecker-params fails to find hunspell dictionaries on the first invocation it
gives the useful error message:
  "no default hunspell diectionary found"

On subsequence calls, it fails with
   "Wrong type argument: stringp, nil"

call stack is
  string-match("," nil 0)
  split-string(nil "," t)
  ispell-parse-hunspell-affix-file(nil)
  ispell-hunspell-fill-dictionary-entry(nil) *
  ispell-start-process()
  ispell-init-process()
  ispell-buffer-local-words()
  ispell-accept-buffer-local-defs()
  ispell-word(nil nil nil t)
  funcall-interactively(ispell-word nil nil nil t)
  call-interactively(ispell-word nil nil)
  command-execute(ispell-word)

This is caused by ispell-set-spellchecker-params setting
ispell-last-program-name before it has successfully completed.

a patch is attached that fixes this problem, resulting in a correct
error message on subsequence uses of ispell-word
