I just figured out what is going on. The problem is gnu screen. It's screen that's truncating the address. When login and don't reattach to my screen, I get the full address and "PROCPS_FROMLEN=40 w" prints the expected full address.

It turns out both purge commands for xorg and pulseaudio failed for some reason over here and speech for now is temporarily back to normal. I now don't know what's going on over here any longer. It could be this sound system is on its last legs and that wouldn't be surprising since I'm using

I wrote earlier how this could be giving orca its darth vader voice just as a user logged in. I'm pretty sure it's likely to be a pulseaudio problem though since I cleared xdg-utils and its configuration from my system yesterday. The static on speakers with most speech came back this morning.
