Did you have sighted assistance to verify this.  I.e., does the system really
hang, or is it possible that just your synth output dies?
Where exactly does the system hang.  Before invoking init, after that, and if yes, where
exactly.

Yes, every bit of info you could give is helpful.  As I indicated
several times, I do not own a speakup compatible synth, so I'm sort
of stuck if it comes to reproducing stuff. 

P.S.: If in any way possible, please do propper bug reporting against
the BTS, see http://bugs.debian.org for documentation on how to do this.
