Something Broken in Speakup with spkout

I'mve just noticed something.  When I use the speakout synth on a
serial port, I'm getting a bunch of those dreaded
"cat: write error: Invalid argument"
messages all over the place when I try and set up my speech parameters
and I notice that I even get that error when setting punctuation
characters.  Yet, if I specify to use soft with the talkwith script, I
get my punctuation characters back and I only get two of the "invalid
argument" errors.

I verified that the directories /etc/spkout and /etc/soft both contain
valid values in the parameters in question.

What could be the difference here? I just updated my Debian Squeeze
system shortly before running into this.  Any ideas?
