ghost espeak processes piling up

Description

when using this in the configuration file:

<speech type="cmdline" data="espeak -s 150 -v french '%s' &amp;" />

ghost processes of espeak will be created each time navit speaks. Those process eat up 250mb of ram over a 2 hour car trip.

This doesn't seem to be espeak's fault, because doing that command myself in a terminal does not create a leftover process.
