Hello, I am running a Gentoo Linux AMD sixty four bit server with kernel two point six point one nine kernel, SMP enabled, suspend-to-disk enabled, Advanced power management enabled, runs quite nicely. That is, it runs fine untill I use ESpeak as a speech-synthesizer with Speakup. In general, I've noticed that the ESpeak synthesizer will dye if I rappidly type something into the machine. For example: Ifconfig Eth0 192.1.. and suddenly, the ESpeak Executable will stop responding. I have attempted using Speech-Dispatcher and Speechd-up at nice -20, but have also experienced this crash of the ESpeak executable directly. Speech-Dispatcher and Speechd-up are no longer the causeof this problem. It is the ESpeak executable, any suggestions? I do not know why it simply dies. Regards, --Keith
