Erm, what, exactly is leaking to the screen? How is stdin getting horked?

Do some of your filenames have spaces or other characters which clash
with the shell's reader?

I don't know if this is applicable to your problem, but find -print0 |
xargs -0 is often much less troublesome than find|while read.

For example:

  find . -name '*.txt' -print0 | xargs -0 -n 1 aspell -c
