Speechd-up Issues

I'm down to a strange pattern on one of my boxes when it comes to
launching Speech Dispatcher, speakup and speechd_up in that order.  It
basically comes down to this.  dispatcher and speakup are loading
correctly; that is, /proc/speakup/synth_name is properly set to
softsynth.  If I do this sequence from any shell script, speechd_up
logs an error about [y being an invalid command or something and I get
no speech.  Then if I killall speechd_up and follow that by restarting
speechd_up, I get speech.  For whatever reason, speechd_up doesn't
like getting loaded from a script.  This is on a desktop machine
running kernel 2.4.25 with ALSA.

Here's a strange deal though.  On my P120 laptop, I do the exact same
sequence and it loads properly every time.  The differences are that
the laptop is running OSS drivers and the kernel is 2.4.26.

Any possible explanation for the difference in behavior?

I have to say this is working out greate for my laptop.  We've come a
long ways!
