Nope. This was a new feature of git-gui 0.10; we now launch an aspell session in the background via a bi-directional pipe and use it to spell check the commit message area on the fly. The reason Git 1.5.4 doesn't have this problem is because it ships with git-gui 0.9.x, which doesn't have this spell check. I'm not sure why your system is hanging. I've used git-gui 0.10 on Mac OS 10.4, 10.5 and Windows without any issues for many weeks prior to the 1.5.5 release. Doesn't mean there isn't possibly something wrong here, I just had thought this was pretty stable code at this point. >From the strace it looks like your aspell is not giving us a reply to the "$$cr master" command.
