Re: patches for emacspeak on gentoo linux

["T. V. Raman" <raman@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The segfault has nothing do with the dectalk.

As I said in my earlier note, the segfault happens if you invoke
the script as an executable.

I suspect there is some old lib around something that is causing
the problem on ubuntu 6; however I'm reluctant to  move things
forward right now because it will break things for a lot of
users.
If you have verified that it works on gentoo, I suggest you keep
that a gentoo specific patch for now, and we can revisit it a few
months from now.
