There is a bugfix by Samuel Thibault. Could someone please send me a gdb backtrace with CVS speechd-up (http://www.freebsoft.org/) and either CVS speech-dispatcher or speech-dispatcher from http://www.freebsoft.org/~hanke/speech-dispatcher-beta/speech-dispatcher-0.6.2test2.tar.gz ? I'd also appreciate to see speechd-up compilation log (to determine which libraries it compiles against). In speechd-up source tree you can run GDB: gdb ./speechd-up run -s -l 5 and when it crashes type in thread apply all bt Please send me the full backtrace as weel as the produced speechd-up.log file (from /var/log/ or /var/log/speechd-up/ or similar) from the same crash. Thank you, Hynek Hanke
