	It often happens after doing the first "show."  Sometimes I can 
seem to avoid it if I silence screen output before reaching the end of 
the page or output.  It almost always happens if it reaches the "more" 
prompt at the bottom of the screen.

	I'm running the standard Squeeze speakup/ltlk packages, without 
modifications, loaded from grub, and unsuccessfully attempting to run 
speakupconf from /etc/rc.local.  I've been deleting the /etc/speakup 
directory every time there's been an upgrade, ever since I began using 
speakupconf, and saving the settings in pristine condition to avoid any 
bugs.  This problem has been going on since I started using Shane's 
Debian Etch kernel, so I think it's either Debian, or my old Celeron 
computer's fault, because I've been grabbing every new release Debian 
has provided.  About the only configurations I ever bother fiddling with 
are mutt, edbrowse, andirssi, and writing scripts to handle most 
operations with a single word.  For instance, I have a script called 
/usr/local/sbin/Upgrade that handles running "aptitude -q upgrade" for 
me Similarly I have a Search and Show script for package searching and 
displays.  rc.local checks with uname to see if the Shane kernel is in 
use and uses it's older setup methods.  Otherwise it runs speakupconf.
