Thanks, I will try that.

I just remembered that I moved a spell checking file from an old machine into 
the spell directory. Renaming that solved the problem, so apparently the 
problem is caused by the spell checking file.

The header for that file is

personal_ws-1.1 da 423 utf-8

however, I moved some of the content to another file, so the number 423 should 
probably be ajusted (I tried using normalize-aspell-word-list bug got similar 
errors as with posieve). I'll investigate a bit more and report back if I find 
out anything.
