My feeling is that the problem may be due to a race condition that is
causing the problem.  For example, I also see the same problem when
pasting 

   bash
   ispell -a
   uffe

into an xterm window.  Based upon this test I recommend that you call
sleep between ashell and send_process, i.e.,

   ashell();
   sleep (1);
   send_process (AShell_Id, "ispell -a \n");
   send_process (AShell_Id, "uffe\n");

This gives the underlying shell some time to get set up and initialize
the pseudo-terminal.

Thanks,
