-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've done some more narrowing down of the problem, and it turns out the problem lies in this statement: (defvar server_access_list '("127.0.0.1" "cq" "cq.ftml.net") If I comment that statement out, the problem goes away, but without an access list I cannect connect to the festival server. The parens are not balanced, and there is a single quote without a match, but that's the way the docs indicate it should be coded. I can't find any other examples anywhere, and am curious to know if anyone here is running festival and how they might have coded their access list.
