[Tts-project] Bug#943402: Bug#943402: festival: calling festival --tts or text2wave aborts

Dear Samuel,
I have not ~/.festivalrc nor modified /etc/festival.scm
As for voices:
0% dpkg -l "*fest*"

Inspired by your suggestion I installed festvox-kallpc16k, and I do not get
the SIOD ERROR anymore.
So I guess it is a bug with festvox-ita* installation?

Thank you
Fulvio
