The thing that is driving me crazy the most, is that I *did* fix this, 
over a year ago.  For some reason which I will never understand, I didn't 
promote the fix to my speakup initialization and configuration script, 
where I do all of my other rate, pitch, character, etc. setup.

I so rarely reboot my home system, that it's been about that long since I 
had to perform the fix, and the last time, about 8 months ago before last 
week, I apparently still remembered how to do it.

I'm going to have to spend some time playing with this, and if I can get 
it fixed again, I'll figure out a way to get it included in source for 
the DEC Express driver or something.
