Not intentionally, but you are correct.  It looks like I damaged it
when adding the equivalent SSML support:
   <tts:style capital_letters="icon"> Text </tts:style> 

I'll fix it.

I've not been able to reproduce this, even with that passage.  Does it
happen if you speak it by calling eSpeak directly from a command line?
i.e.
   speak -ftextfile
?

Or does it only happen when using speakup or speech dispatcher or
whatever you are doing?  If you can get it to happen with a direct 
speak -f  call, tell me exactly what parameters you use (i.e. the -s
value to set the speed, or anything else).

When this fault occurs, does it always omit everything between the
comma and the next comma, period, colon, semicolon, question or
exclamation mark?
