Orca speech not interrupting

[Cody Hurst <churst35 verizon net>]

Hi all,
  Last night I just started having this problem where even after a
reboot and I start orca the control key does not silence speech, and
speech won't work in the terminal. I installed qemu last night but I
don't think that is the issue. whats going on here. I also tried killing
orca and festival from the terminal but still no go.
