My mother uses 5.1 and 6.0 for DOS, and has had the most trouble after using
the spell-checkers. One time a 6-page paper lost the last 5 pages, the first
was scrambled, and the machine froze. We had to re-boot, undelete the timed
backup copy, and start again. I remember reading some postings and articles
that said the spell-checkers _are_ the culprit.
