System still locks up on me in Debian

[Kerry Hoath]

Probably nothing.
Once the doubletalk buffer fills up, the doubletalk will handshake off and 
leave speakup stuck.
I used to get around this by powering the doubletalk off and on to empty the 
buffer.
This is a known bug. Once you had too much text the whole thing can lock 
solid.
I have no idea if anyone is looking into this bug; most people don't have 
speakup compiled into the kernel these days and just either load as modules 
and turn speech off or silence at bootup which is not ideal.

Not sure if this is beeing worked on at all and who would debug it.

Regards, Kerry.
