Okay, take an original Workbench 1.3, boot, interrupt startup-seq.

type in:
   ed ram:test
	<in editor>  
	this is a test.

	this is only a test.
	<save file, exit>
   mount speak:
   copy ram:testfile to speak:

Now, sometimes it "speaks" the whole file, usually, however, it
speaks the first sentence and quits.  Anybody else notice this?

I think it has a better chance of dying when lots of other programs
are running (is somebody dereferencing a freed pointer??... :-))

I have an A500, internal ram, external floppy drive and external 2 megs.

More info as requested --  I've done everything I can think of, though.
