speech-dispatcher crashing with nothing in log

[Rynhardt P Kruger]

Hi,

I think my prosesser is a duolcore because grml deteckt two CPUs but there is just one prosesser on the board. It's a 
pentiom 4, 3.0 ghz
I have 1 gig and 256 meg ram in this case. I am also using a soundblaster audigy soundcard.

Take care,

Rynhardt
