speakup crashing problem

[Amanda Tink]

Hi everyone,

I apologise if this has been covered before, but I've only just joined 
this list, and I haven't found anything helpful on the net so far.

I recently had debian 3.1 and speakup installed on my machine, and speakup 
crashes unrecoverably when I try to use mark and paste.  So I'm wondering 
if this is a known problem and, if so, how have people fixed it?

Thanks for any ideas.

Amanda
