Buggy speakup on Ubuntu 12.04?

Hey Bohdan,
I think I found the source of the goto bug.
If you look at the handle_goto function from main.c of the Speakup
sources,  you'll see this declaration:

static u_char *goto_buf = "\0\0\0\0\0\0";

That just creates a pointer to a string constant.
Try to assign to *goto_buf, and boom, there is your panic.

Instead, we want:

static u_char goto_buf[] = "\0\0\0\0\0\0";

That should fix the issue with goto, but I haven't been able to test it yet.
