Does this happen with anyone else?

Some of us prefer not to use the pitch change for capitalization when 
using speakup. The way to do this is to replace the contents of 
caps_start with the work cap and a space, and to replace the contents of 
caps_stop with a space. Then when you run Steve's speakupconf script to 
load the new configuration, it works.

The trouble comes when you are using the sftsyn driver, and you use that 
script to save the configuration, such as when you modify the rate or 
pitch of the synthesized voice. What happens is that the contents of 
caps_start and caps_stop are written with enclosing quotation marks. You 
may never notice this until the next  time you load the configuration 
with speakupconf, which in my case happens on bootup.

The enclosing quotes are pronounced when a capital letter is identified. 
Distracting, but not disastrous. This does not happen with other 
drivers, at least not with those I have tested (ltlk, txprt).

I am using Speakup v-2.00 CVS: Mon May 1 09:46:33 EDT 2006

synth sftsyn version 0.3

Does anyone else see this?
