Re: [orca-list] Problems with speech in Intrepid

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

This is OK.  This says the first process (6222) is the parent of the 
second process (6229), which is the parent of the third process (6254). 
 What's going on is that the orca script (6222) is launching an 
internal process (6229) which is launching python (6254).
