Oops.  In a moment of severe brain fade, I managed to break ispell
3.1.07 for languages that use more than 26 flag characters.  If you
are using ispell for languages other than English, you may want to
stay at patch level 5 until patch 8 becomes available.  Alternatively,
you can work around the bug by finding a few places in parse.y which read:

	... = CHARTOBIT (mytoupper (...))

and removing the word "mytoupper":

	... = CHARTOBIT ((...))

(Be sure to save the original parse.y, so that patch 8 will apply
smoothly when I release it.  I will try to get it out quickly so
people don't have to suffer this bug for too long.)
