From: Samuel Thibault <samuel.thibault@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 9d32c0cde4e2d1343dfb88a67b2ec6397705b32b upstream. get_char was erroneously given the address of the pointer to the text instead of the address of the text, thus leading to random crashes when the user requests speaking a word while the current position is on a space character and say_word_ctl is not enabled.
