I'm not exactly which bug is which but I only know that on Arch Linux as of this afternoon Oct 21, I'm running a 3.6.2 kernel and the one bug I knew on my laptop involved pressing Shift + CapsLock to toggle capitalization in Speakup would always crash before. I am happy to say that that doesn't crash anymore for me. I don't have a num pad here so can't verify the other speakup keys. I pull from the Testing repos so dunno if 3.6 is available to Arch users who don't pull from testing. So hopefully the light at the end of the tunnle is much brighter now.
