Can you set "ulimit -c unlimited" before running brltty (must be done from the 
same shell), and then, using gdb, the executable, and the core file, get a 
backtrace of where the crash is occurring?

No, I don't. Are you able to build the latest development code to see if the 
problem is still occurring?

I found a copy of latex-access on my system, but haven't yet figured out how to 
get Python to see it. If I can figure that out, then I'll try to do some direct 
testing.
