[BRLTTY] Orca crash with grade 2 and latest versions of brltty and liblouis

[Willie Walker]

I've been working with Pete for several days trying to get him through 
various build issues and such.  I'm not quite sure what state his 
machine is in because he's tried so many things.  :-(  There may be 
things under /usr, things under /usr/local, and there may be different 
versions of different things installed in both places.

I'm not convinced this can be quickly diagnosed as an Orca bug.  On 
OpenSolaris, I've had good success with the exact versions of Orca, 
liblouis (I'm using the /usr/share/liblouis/tables/en-us-g2.ctb table), 
and BrlTTY that Pete is using.

As Samuel says - this will be quite useful.
