List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi list. I have been having this little problem with speakup or something for some time now, but I wasn't sure if it was a memory problem or what. I am using a doubletalk PC on both my machines which are both running Slackware 8.0 with kernel 2.4.5. If I have speakup read a long passage of text, it will eventually choke, that is, the synthesizer will not respond to ctrl or anything to silence it, and when it finally does go silent, everything is frozen and I have to do an ungraceful reboot. I usually run Speakup with key_echo set to 0 since that's the way I like it, but I'm not even sure that Speakup is causing the problem. Any ideas would be helpful since there are times when I can't silence the speech in time and I don't know enough Linux to look at what to check. thanks.
