Hello, Mike.

That is a strong possability. I noticed when orca goes I can't even get to run and open gnome-terminal and often I have to control+alt+f1 over to a shell to kill orca to get gnome freed up.

Are you at least 
running orca 0.2.5?

Yes, I am. After getting Ubuntu setup and working I used Willie Walker's Orca tutorial and grabbed gnome-speech 0.4.0 and orca 0.25 from gnome ftp, uninstalled the Ubuntu packages, and compiled, and installed from source. So my versions of orca and gnome-speech are up-to-date with ftp current stable releases.  

If this happens, try switching to another vertual terminal for example 
with: CTRL+ALT+F1 and kill -9 orca and festival-synthesis-driver. 

So as I understand it if I am running with festival the command would be 
killall -9 orca
killall -9 festival-synthesis-driver
Is that correct?

Stability is always a top priority for the orca team so more work will 
be coming in this area very soon. 

Great. I can't wait for some more stability. I like the guys you are doing, but orca needs more stability before it will be my day to day solution.
Thanks.

Mike
