Here is a slightly corrected version, due to a fault by me, the first
one seems not what you meant:

#0  0xb7ef4264 in ?? ()
#1  0x08049eb4 in signal_thread ()
#2  0xb7d254b5 in start_thread () from /lib/i686/cmov/libpthread.so.0
#3  0xb7e19a5e in clone () from /lib/i686/cmov/libc.so.6

And: The thought I had in my last mail seems wrong: Just shut down and
restarted my machine with Speakup silent, and the core file was produced
anyway.
