Subject: strange behaviour with test13-pre6

With test13-pre6 I suddenly found that I could not change the console.
When I wanted to enter a command letters were changed:
greek \mu appeared for m,
tilde n for e.

After a few seconds the system returned to normal behaviour.
No messages can be found in the logfiles.

similar behavior at boot, at least since test11, to wit: at boot:
prompt, hitting tab causes what seems to be several pages of
scrolling with the odd character here and there, in place of a list
of available boot options. after several seconds, boot: prompt
reappears as usual, and one may, if one has remembered their names,
type in any of the possibilities, and boot that choice.
