-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I am having a rather rare but 100% reprodusable problem with eSpeak. If a string of text to be spoken begins with a t followed immediatly by a z, eSpeak dies with a "floating point exception". It doesn't matter if I am using Speech-dispatcher or if I use the speak command directly. I say this is rather rare because you rarely see words beginning with tz, but I found the problem when Debian was upgrading a package called tzdata. It just so happened that the word tzdata was at the beginning of the line, and I heard the t sound and nothing else on the line was spoken. So I ran speak tzdata and got the same result and was able to read the error message "floating point exception" which appears to be generated by the shell. So I tried a different word adding tz at the beginning of the word and I got the same result. The strange thing is that if that same word beginning with tz is anywhere other than at the beginning of the string to be spoken, there is no problem and the whole string is spoken normally. Also, the problem seems to occur when tz is placed at the beginning of any word that begins with a single consonant followed by a vowel, however tzl, tzr and tzw are spoken normally.
