I tried rlfe package and ledit package to get readline functionality into the bash shell and neither package had any positive effect on this bug situation. I don't know if a missing readline in a bash shell is causing this to happen or not but if so, neither of these packages will do the job

Hi, this may not be the same bug, but there has been a long-standing Speakup bug that locks up the machine. I've seen it as early as Squeeze but it may have been there earlier (I don't remember). Whether or not it crashes seems to depend on your environment at the time. Pasting to a
