modprobe speakupmain hangs

I've always had speakup_main built into the kernel, so I can't confirm
anything on that. However, I did report a while back having issues
when switching between combinations of none/bns/dtlk/sftsyn on one of
my machines. At the time, since the machine was running an outdated
version of slackware, I theorized that the problem may have to do with
an older version of gcc. Since then however, I've installed debian
testing on this box, and the version of gcc hasn't made a difference
as far as this speakup issue is concerned. Yes, I did build binaries
of the kernel and modules from scratch after upgrading from slackware
to debian.
