No, It doesn't. It does it only with espeak-generic so I activated espeak again 
and
restart sd after each crash. Yes auto-speak is activated in my brltty
preferences. Nothing that I can modify in the espeak-generic.conf file.
In fact my current linux distro is not hardy but intrepid.

Yes it does it with orca too ! I made a test by reading some mails in
thunderbird and not all the lines were spoken. I think the best module
between espeak and espeak-generic is espeak but it will be very cool if
we can find what causes the crashes.
