Re: DECtalk ceased working with a message about lisence quota exceeded

Hi
	Sounds to me like the dectalk-synthesis-driver is still 
running--gnopernicus doesn't close it down very well. Kill the driver and 
see if that helps, I've seen this happen when there are three or more 
copies of the synthesis driver running. I usually do:
killall -KILL dectalk-synthesis-driver
And for good measure I usually kill any other synthesis drivers that are 
running--even if you don't use them gnopernicus will run them anyway.
