I did read that message - it seemed possible to me that configuring a
language could have altered the program's behaviour and reduced either
the number of errors, or their frequency.

I'm not sure yet, but I do see some "udeb" scripts that might be
relevant and should be found in the following directory:
/usr/share/espeakup-udeb/
And in package version 1:0.90-11, I see a default voice of "en" in the
udeb start script, in at least three places.
There are some more recent package versions available, if you'd like
to try an upgrade. It would be nice to figure out what the error's
cause is/was, though.

Yep, bugs with unpredictable timing can be particularly hard to track
down. I noticed some references to process threads in one of your
previous messages (the acronym nptl for native posix thread library)
and also in the source code: that occurs to me as a possible area to
investigate, although I don't have clear suggestions on how we could
pinpoint thread-related timing issues.
