Hi,
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?

Unfortunately I had deleted the core file, and til now there is no new
one (Murphy's law) :-(
But I think that it will return sooner or later, and then I'll get back.

Now there was a core file produced. The output of "file" is:

Script wurde gestartet: Sa 05 Sep 2009 10:35:12 CEST
.[J.[34m.[37m.[01;31mroot.[00m at grml / # file core*.
core.11221: ELF 32-bit LSB core file Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), SVR4-style, from 'espeakup -V de'.
.[J.[34m.[37m.[01;31mroot.[00m at grml / # exit.

Script beendet: Sa 05 Sep 2009 10:35:50 CEST

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