speakup "remembers" old screen

Occasionally I have a problem with speakup, it seems to re-read a screen 
that was previously displayed rather than what is currently on the screen. I 
don't really know of anything in particular that causes it.  But, for 
example, I might do a ifconfig and then a clear, and it will keep reading 
the ifconfig info as if it's still on the screen.

I've noticed this behaviour in many versions of the kernel. I know at least 
that it's happened with kernels i've compiled myself from 2.6.12 through 
2.6.18. I can't say for sure that it's happened on machines running a kernel 
downloaded from Shane's space on the debian server.

Anyway, I am mostly interested in knowing if there's a way to get speakup to 
"refresh" itself or whatever.
