>Description:
keyboard becomes completely unresponsive. Tried esc, ctrl-c, ctrl-z,
ctrl-break, alt-F2, alt-F3, ctrl-alt-del, space, enter, scroll lock.
Can't even change Num Lock. Had to hit the reset button.
Tried a different keyboard. Tried disconnecting & reconnecting
the keyboard cable. No luck.
>How-To-Repeat:
Holding down the space bar while viewing a large man page (like csh)
will do it every time. Once in a while it happens during normal 
command line entry.
