Based on Lorenzo's debugging, I think the reason is Speech Dispatcher's C interface library, which crashes SpeechD-Up. Could you please try with latest CVS? I've made a tarball to make testing easier. Please beware that this tarball didn't go through proper pre-release testing and it is by no means an official release. It is the same code as in latest CVS. http://www.freebsoft.org/~hanke/speech-dispatcher-beta/speech-dispatcher-0.6.2test2.tar.gz It might be necessary to recompile your speechd-up against the new library. Please let me know if it fixes the problem. I can only repeat this has nothing to do with eSpeak and if you need to restart speechd-up, it has also nothing to do with Speech Dispatcher core.
