I'm not sure what the driver is thinking, but further testing has shown
this to be totally a hardware problem.

ng
shows that the NumLock state changes causes freezing outside of FreeBSD.
I didn't know what I was testing for before, but now I do.  I also tried my
trusty FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE install CD.  The keyboard locked up there too,
and it has *never* done that before.  Me thinks my 4 month old ABIT
KT7-RAID is broken.

Trying another, totally different, keyboard caused the same problems.

Thanks for your time! I guess I'll have to persue this with ABIT and not
FreeBSD.  Hopefully they'll replace the thing since the dealer warranty is
expired.
