I think it's a bit of a stretch to call that a security bug; yes, it's a bug, and I'll fix it when I can, and anyone else is welcome to fix it before I get to it. If you're doing dictionary attacks, you shjould be aware of the quality of the dictionary data you're using; if you want a huge list of words, install the scowl package (form which all the american, canadian, and british word lists are generated).

Technically, isn't wamerican-large being tiny a security bug? How can
people perform dictionary attacks with tools that rely on wamerican
without a lot of words?
Also, don't spell checkers rely on wamerican? This would be useful
functionality to have rarely used words available to check against.
