This sounds quite odd. Firstly I would suggest using the espeak specific module rather than the espeak generic one, I did find that sometimes there could be problems with speech-dispatcher crashing with the generic one. I have only had one crash of speech-dispatcher since changing to the espeak specific module, and that one I couldn't track down as there wasn't enough information in the log files and as it hasn't happened since it is too rare to be able to catch by altering the log level. As you seem to get crashes so regular, you should be able to get it to happen when you raise the log level. Also make sure that the modules you are using/have enabled also have a high log level. Also on this topic, disable any modules you don't need, this can affect stability. After trying the last suggestion does the problem go away? if not does raising the log levels reveal any hint as to what the problem is?
