Description:

While `festival --tts <<< test` works (i.e.  FS#58872  is fixed), `text2wave` fails with SEGV:

$ text2wave -o t.wav <<< test
[1] 307267 segmentation fault (core dumped) text2wave -o t.wav <<< test

(BTW, I first discovered this issue on Feb. 11, 2020. But since I rarely run text2wave, I'm guessing it's probably stopped working since festival 2.5.0.)

Additional info:
* package version: festival 2.5.0-3
This task depends upon

I did a bit of search and found a post from 2005(!) on Gentoo Forums: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-195579-postdays-0-postorder-asc-start-50.html

The workaround/solution provided by telegenetic (post id 2606684, idk how to link to it.) did work for me, surprisingly. Patch text2wave thus:

- (let ((wholeutt (utt.synth (Utterance Text ""))))
+ (let ((wholeutt (Utterance Text "")))

However, this smells weird. Because text2wave worked for me early last year, when festival was at version 2.4.x.
I have checked the file festival/examples/text2wave.sh in the source tarball has not changed a bit between 2.4 and 2.5.0.
And that Gentoo Forums post was from 2005, when festival was at 1.x!
