(is > speed step enabled, etc?) Problem appears to be from hardware, Vojtech Pavlik helped me a bit to track it down. Hardware occasionally doesn't send the key release signal after a key pressed signel. System is IBM Thinkpad R30, CPU permanently running on low speed (700MHz), no speed step (unsupported chipset). Should I still test w/ clock=pit?
