Ok, according to the ispell author its a known ispell bug:
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=ispell+dollar&hl=en&safe=off&rnum=4&ic=1&selm=3v3nnt%24tvv%40saba.info.ucla.edu


ispell simply freezes when it encounters the dollar sign in the
non-interactive mode.

The strange think is that all major distributions seem to ship
ispell 3.1.20 from 1995. I hope they include a patch for this problem...
(the rpm included in SuSE 7.0 is broken)

Greetings
Christian
