[TRLog] Farnsworth Problem

Is it just me or has Farnsworth been broken for a while?  In my 
stdcfg.dat I have FARNSWORTH SPEED = 25 followed by FARNSWORTH ENABLE = 
TRUE.  If I understand this correctly, code sent at, say, 20 wpm will 
send the characters at 25 wpm and put extra space between them to 
achieve an average of 20.  This doesn't happen for me.  If I send at 15 
wpm the characters are formed at 15 wpm, not 25.  If my memory is 
correct, this worked in 6.56.  I'm using 6.59.

I'm going to want to do some cw op training in a while and it sure would 
be nice to have this working.  Am I doing something wrong?
