when I shut down/reboot my system, I get a core file written in /. Since this is happening repeatedly, there is a pretty large amount of drive space wasted. Can anyone confirm/reproduce this behavior, and does anybody know what causes this? How can I stop this?
What does 'file /core' (or whatever the name of the corefile is) say?
Now there was a core file produced. The output of "file" is:

Since this affects Espeakup, I'll contact the developers. Hermann
