It happens with the Dectalk Express as well as the Dectalk USB in RS232 mode. It also effects the Dectalk PC. I would guess that it has something to do with the exact way text is sent to the synthesizer. As to your other question, have you over-clocked your CPU by any chance? I've never gotten any messages like that, but I suspect that you are getting it from the kernel option called "machine check exception." You could turn it off, but that would only mask what sounds like a problem which may bite you later.
