[orca-list] orca displays random characters in braille until restarted

hi all

Hears an odd bug a couple of my users have reported. After updating 
brltty through your package manager, the characters on the braille 
display look like gibberish. I don't know any other way of describing 
it. They look nothing  like what orca's speaking. The  solution is to 
restart orca. After this, orca picks up on brltty and things work as 
usual. This seems to happen only in orca built from git, but I can try 
with the stable version and see if it happens there. I know my 
description is rather vague, but the characters aren't the same each 
time. This happens regardless of whether contracted braille is enabled 
and wich contraction table is selected. Could it just be that orca needs 
to ping brltty every so often? I'm not sure. One thing I have noticed is 
that when brltty logs, orca seems to put in tons and tons of requests to 
brlapi, possibly one for each character. This isn't a complaint or 
anything, but orca isn't identifying itself to brltty. The log entries 
look like

Would it be possible for orca to identify itself  to brltty? This won't 
affect performance at all, but it would help users figure out that orca 
is working properly.

Thanks
