Comment(by datallah):

 Ok, then it is a problem with you including php in the system path; not
 doing that will prevent the problem from happening.

 I realize that there are hacky workarounds that we could do for the case
 where both the standard aspell is installed and you have the broken
 version in your path, but the real problem is that the broken version with
 the same name exists (and when you put it in the path, it becomes a
 problem for anything expecting the real version).

 This is a common windows DLL hell type of situation that we shouldn't try
 to work around via ugly hacks.

 If the php folks recommend that you put the directory containing that dll
 in your PATH, then you should file a ticket asking them to rename the dll
 to avoid this "Dll Hell" type of situation.
