spd-say seems confused.

[Christopher Moore]

When I set speechd as a system-wide service, it put an export 
SPEECHD_ADDRESS = /var/run/... 
in a file under /etc/profile.d.  When I went back to running speechd as 
a user, this line was not removed.  Commenting it out seems to have 
solved the problem.
