      When letting the process continue, finally emacs craches
      and exits with a fatl error since the buffer becomes to
      big by inserting too many newlines. I suspect that the
      same error might occur when using fill functions like
      fill-paragraph ...

  I am using emacs 21.4a but I wonder if the problem might come
  from there ... Indeed when looking at the woman-log buffer it
  seems to be the same in both case (with or without
  speechd-el) except that when interrupting the job the log
  buffer contains less informations than when the job is
  complete. Shall I test an emacs 22 instllation ? But is not
  it a cvs version ?
