Please send this report to speechd at lists.freebsoft.org . That is the correct address. I'm not sure the author of the module is reading this list (but of course he is reading speechd@).

Generally in such situations it helps the developers very much if you can provide examples of input that cause the crash. > (which, annoyingly enough, I can't just kill with 'killall -9 speech-dispatch,' > nor can I 'pidof speech-dispatch' to even find out its pid). This should work. If it is not, it is a bug. But I think you are providing wrong name of the binary killall -9 speech-dispatcher pidof speech-dispatcher both are ok on my machine. If it doesn't work, please let me know. I'll try to see what is wrong and fix it. With Regards, Hynek Hanke
