Strange, strange.  The only explanation I can think of is that it's
really an Emacs bug.

Is there anyone else here, who can reproduce the problem?  I'm still
unable to reproduce it.

We can try to the following now:

- Try to replace the speechd.el file with the following version:

  It tries to catch and replace given SSIP commands just before sending
  them to the socket.  See the variable speechd-utf-8-hack, you can
  alter its value and perform various experiments with it.  Please note
  this speechd.el file is encoded in Latin-1, as is defined in the local
  variables at its end.

- I think it would be worth to try to run speechd-el with the Emacs CVS
  snapshot, to see whether the bug is present there too.  speechd-el
  runs fine with the Emacs CVS version (and the .elc files are
  compatible too), so all you need to do is to compile the Emacs
  snapshot.  See http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=emacs for
  instructions how to get Emacs from its CVS archive.
