Sorry Jeremy.  I rushed the previous response and did not see the last 
part regarding the Debug 1. Yes, I had to change the Debug from 0 to 1.  
I rebooted to make sure both espeak and speech-dispatcher used the 
updated config files.  I had spd-say  speak 3 sentences and I had Okular 
read 1/2 page of a pdf three times, just in case.  Here are the zipped 
logs.  I deleted the old logs before rebooting.  Thanks for your patient 
efforts,  Gustav.
