Have you tried configuring speech-dispatcher to use a network socket rather
than a UNIX socket, e.g., 127.0.0.1? That might give you a work-around until
the real issue is fixed.

Also, speech-dispatcher should report the error if it can't access the socket;
it shouldn't hang, in which case there's a bug pertinent to the lack of error
checking in addition to whatever the underlying problem is.

I can't remember how to set speech-dispatcher to use a network socket, but
it's in the configuration file and should be documented. Someone else on the
list probably knows if it isn't obvious.

I hope it gets tracked down.
