[Bug 1989805] [NEW] crash on non-Latin text in standard input in UTF-8

[Andriy Tymchenko]

Public bug reported:

I have installed festival from APT, i.e.

sudo apt-get install festival speech-dispatcher-festival

and then used this example from Ubuntu StackExchange answer
https://askubuntu.com/a/1042146/10334

echo "Hello. How are you?" | festival --tts

It had worked just fine.

Then I used same example, only with Cyrillic in echo string, i.e.

$ echo "Доброго вечора, ми - з України" | festival --tts
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

My expectation was that Festival would give error message or silently
skips error. But it coredumped.
