Hi Samuel,
Yes, the crash happens very quickly if I run "sudo service espeakup
restart". I can see the in /var/log/messages, and it actually will retry
and the segfalut occurs every about 90 secs.
Nothing was changed in /etc/default/espeakup:
==============
$ cat /etc/default/espeakup
# To choose the default voice of the espeakup daemon, define VOICE here.
# See /usr/lib/*/espeak-data/voices/ for a list of possible voices.

VOICE=

# To choose audio output on another sound card, uncomment this and set as
# appropriate (either a card number or a card name as seen in CARD= alsa
# output).
#
# ALSA_CARD=0
==============

I can reproduce this issue in many of different machines, like the
latest (updated these 2 days)  Debian Sid on VMWare WS, both i386 and
AMD64 architectures with Linux kernel 4.12.0-1, and on my Lenovo x230
laptop.
Thanks.
