speech-dispatcher and python consume CPU

[WindyWeather]

speech-dispatcher and python are both consuming 100% of the CPU on my system. After I uninstall speech-dispatcher, I have to reboot to clear the condition. Looks like the package is not set correctly to stop speech-dispatcher. Version 0.7.1-0ubuntu3 is the version from the repository.

Not sure who speech-dispatcher got on my system . Perhaps because I installed Orca to try it's screen mag feature. I removed Orca and that did not fix problem.

You are using Ubuntu 11.04 - the Natty Narwhal - released in April 2011 and supported until October 2012.
