	Because like I
ve reported previously on this mailing list, it's the only one that
doesn't lock my computer up tight when speakup crashes.
	If I let speakup talk during bootup and don't silence it some
way, it never gets thru the bootup process.  I have to press the
cabinet's reset button and make sure the Doubletalk LiteTalk (LTLK
module) buffer doesn't overflow and halt the system.  Long directory
listings, or cat'ing a more than maybe a 4K file also locks up the
system.  Logging into IRC and listening to the server login message of
the day locks up the system.  I dunno if it's speakup, Debian, or the
UART on the motherboard causes it, but it only does it with the speakup
versions greater than the one in the Shane kernel.
