   When in server mode with multiple simultaneous clients some
   clients never get services due to the server side dying (typically
   seg faulting).  The server still runs and new client can continue.
   This only occurs with grouped diphone voices (i.e. most of
   the default voices)
   
   This is due to a filedescriptor being shared between client so 
   if multiple client changes the fileposition in the diphone group
   filedescriptor it can end up reading garbage.

   Fix is to reopen the descriptor per client apply
      path -p0 ...../serverdiphfdfix.patch
   in source directory with festival/ and speech_tools/ in it

When the word "No" (capitalized) appears at the end of a sentence
it will wrongly be rendered as the word "number".

The fix is in festival/lib/token.scm at line 147 change

  ((and (string-matches name "No")
        (string-matches (item.feat token "n.name")
			"[0-9]+"))

to

  ((and (string-matches name "No")
        (item.next token)
        (string-matches (item.feat token "n.name")
			"[0-9]+"))
