Thanks, I'll have to watch for this when espeak gets upgraded on my
box.  This brings me to my next question.  I'm running Debian Lenny
and have done so for several months.  I don't see any new packages
coming in since the formal production release of Lenny on Feb 14th.
So how are people with Lenny getting these newer releases? I thought
you had to go Unstable to get these.  Is that what you did?  My
/etc/sources still shows Lenny Main, pretty much like what was set up
when I installed back in October of '08.  Thanks for the Debian help
here.
