#6855: Spelling Highlight Lock-up

 In the Windows version of Pidgin [Tested with 1.4.2 and 1.5.0], pasting
 certain URLs into the input box, or writing them in, with 'Highlight
 misspelled words' on, will cause the entire program to lock up and become
 unresponsive.  I've tried several other programs that use Aspell to check
 for spelling mistakes, and none of them have had the same response as
 Pidgin -- thus allowing us to assume that it is Pidgin's use of Aspell
 that is causing the problem, or, is something on Aspell's end that has
 been resolved in the Linux versions, but not the really-old Windows
 version of Aspell.  However, I don't really know how to check it on my
 own.

 The URL that first brought up the problem is:
 http://icanhascheezburger.files.wordpress.com/

 When typing it in, it locks up at
 'http://icanhascheezburger.files.wordpress.'

 I've tried capturing the output in debug mode, but after that URL is
 entered, everything locks up and there isn't anything to look at.  I have
 not found any other URLs that cause this problem.
