It is basically a memory image of what was going on when the program crashed. The best way for me to fix a core dump would be to have the backtrace from gdb with the debugging information turned on. To do this, you will need to add -g to the CFLAGS when you are building espeakup, as follows: make CFLAGS="-g" Then, the next time you get a core dump, do the following: gdb espeakup_executible core_file bt quit and give me the output from the back trace. Let me know if you need more information about how to do this.
