Comment(by mavrothal):

 Tried clock 6 in the XO-1 with F11 OLPC os860/sugar 0.84 with (Speak v18
 or v25).
 No speaking and nothing suspicious in the log or dmesg
 `espeak "my word"' in terminal also fails. Just hangs there w/o any error
 in console or dmesg.
 So looks like an espeak issue

 *Howevwer* after a failed clock speak, if you close and reopen the
 activity then there is NO clock, but text time/date is OK.
 More important the XO-1 will fail even to shutdown, unless you restart
 (ctrl-alt-del) X, (there is nothing relevant in Xorg.log).
 This does not appear to be an espeak issue because if you first issue
 espeak in terminal and quit it (ctrl+C) the clock activity starts and
 shows the clock fine and the XO shuts down ok too.

 On the XO-1 running F14 OLPC os22/Sugar0.92 clock 6 speaks the time once
 (occasionally half a second time) and then no more.
 espeak works fine from terminal before you run the Clock activity but not
 after.
 Again on Clock re-launch after a failed speaking session, there is no
 clock and the XO-1 fails to restart/shutdown till you force-restart X.
 This is probably a different bug, but is also speaking clock related...
