Espeakup sometimes produces core files when shutting down/rebooting

[Hermann]

Hi,
the subject says it: When I shut down/reboot my machine, Espeakup
sometimes writes core files in the root directory /.
Since they are very large, more then 60 MB and near 600 KB after
bzipping, I want to know what to do with them?
Send one to the list? Are attachments allowed, and if so, can they be
that big?
"file /core*"
responds as follows:
/core.11221: ELF 32-bit LSB core file Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV),
SVR4-style, from 'espeakup -V de'
Any hints?
Hermann
