>Description:
      The morse program has a scaling problem while counting the proper
dot_clock (dot length) value. As a result the dot duration becomes only
1/10 of what it should be.

>How-To-Repeat:
      morse -p whatever

You will hear only insane sqeeking.
Multiply the dot duration by 10 (add -w2 to the command) and your morse
comes out just fine.

>Fix:
      Apply the patch below. (Tab characters have been preserved by
