Did you ever see my patch to fix a possible buffer overflow
in the speechd_connection_new() function?
On my machine, I can trigger that overflow by starting too many modules.
I.E., the file descriptor of the first client is greater than
SpeechdStatus.NUM_FDS * 2, so
realloc(SpeechdSocket, SpeechdStatus.NUM_FDS * 2) doesn't allocate enough
memory.
