The bug occurs in all wine versions, including 5.22 (Staging)

It appears to have something to do with the way wine handles TTS differently
from MS Windows.

Here's a way to reproduce the bug on your own computer:

1. download the original Falcon 4 game from 1998, which can be purchased for a
small amount at gog games or steam.  I think hoover would be able to pay for
this.
2. download the free BMS4.34 patch at this link:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/b61jqm0gwg14gwz/BMS434.tar.gz/file
the sha256sum for this tar file is:
e317abc1b42236e3905c59660199828f26e76784a594819dbe2d64bf36a562ba  BMS434.tar.gz
3. create a new Ubuntu 20.04 partition.  (Ubuntu 20.10 works too).  Install
wine.
4. Unpack BMS434.tar.gz
5. copy the Falcon4 directory from step 1to
BMS434/WP/drive_c/Microprose
6. run BMS434.sh to install the 5 patches and start the game
7. select Tactical Engagement/TE 1: ground ops
8. select the TRAINING flight at the bottom of the list on the left
9. select Fly on the lower right
10. after a few moments, you will enter the 3D display showing an F16 cockpit
on the ramp waiting to enter the runway for takeoff.
11. wait a couple minutes
12. the digital clock on the upper right of the F16 dashboard will stop and the
air traffic report TTS voice will repeat in an infinite loop.  This is the bug.

At benchmarksims.org the linux users have been trying to find a workaround for
this bug for more than a year, without success.  Thanks for working on this
bug!
