I tried manually running nasd to make sure that it was running. That
didn't help any (I didn't expect it to, either):
/~~~
$ nasd
[1] 10110
$ echo 'hello' | festival --tts
Floating point exception - core dumped
Cannot open file /tmp/est_10114_00000.au as tokenstream
Wave load: can't open file "/tmp/est_10114_00000.au"
Cannot load wavefile: /tmp/est_10114_00000.au
Can't access NAS server (null)

I get the same result with ``nasd -aa'', too.
Ah...the core-dump happened since I was in a directory that I can write
to. The program dumping core is mbrola, apparently.
