[BRLTTY] Speech-dispatcher crasheswhen encounteringsemi-graphical characters

[Sérgio Neves]

Hi,
It seems Dave is certain, lol.
We have to write to speech-dispatcher's list.
If you do the same experience with orca on gnome-terminal, you will see that 
espeak module crashes too. You discovered a espeak's module bug!

Best regards

I tested the same with another SD module, and it must be indeed a problem 
with SD and the Espeak module. Switching to
Espeak-generic works.
However: This happens only in brltty with SD, all other apps I use with SD 
are OK (SBL, Speakup, Yasr and speechd-el,
the interface to Emacs). So I think the brltty team should have some 
thoughts about this too.
BTW.: Typing:
brltty -h
causes the crash too.
