speakup status was Re: now playing live.

Hi

Very interesting!  I've had similar behaviour that you describe but it's
not from the new kernel of 2.4.18 nor the newest speakup.  I'm using
2.4.17 and it seems ages since I patched the kernel.  I'd patch the
UK keyboard map with the speakup map and after running an apt-get update
then upgrade, I had these problems.  Therefore, could it be related to
the keymap?

Just a thought.
