Maybe we're talking at cross-purposes, here.  The only explicit problem
I've had with defaults is that if I only have the aec (diphone) voice
installed, festival claims that it can't find any voices.  If I have us1
(mbrola)  installed, then I can at least get festival more or less
running.

The problem that has my attention is that mbrola seems to dump core with
an FPE (I get an mbrola.core if I'm in a directory that I can write).
The only way around this is to use a non-mbrola voice (even though it
seems like I may need to have an mbrola voice available just to get
festival to play ball).

I'll see if I can sort anything out by tweaking config files.
