Tried it on kernel version 2.6.18.
It solves that problem, which creates another, far worse.

N.B. I have not previously updated speakup since, I think, Friday or 
possibly Saturday, so it may have been some other change which caused 
this.

Particularly, all review key functions behave with intolerable slowness.  
The reading of keys and such seems uneffected, but attempting to review 
the screen is painful--possibly half second delays between key presses and 
speech.

The side effect is not worth the cure, if in fact that is what caused it.

I will note that I did not try playing with any parameters--just the same 
ones I used on the version I pulled a couple days ago, which did not 
exibit this delay problem.
