The bug just hit me again and I was able to note the precise effects in much
more detail this time as it was really strange.

After using X for roughly 5 hours all of a sudden, while I was typing but taking
a quick break to think, the system acted like I was holding down the spacebar
and put about 30 spaces into my window at high speed.  I must have freaked and
hit a key and it stopped it.  I definitely had not typed a space within a few
seconds of that happening.  AND I noticed for sure this time that right as this
happened the num lock key LED turned off!  And even though the numlock light is
off, the system still thinks numlock is on (the keys still produce numbers)!! 
Now I just tapped num lock and the light stayed off (ie: no toggle).  I tapped
it again and it went on.

And now my keyboard repeat rate is down to the stock 30cps (it feels like).

I'm using driver "kbd" this time.

I will be testing the FC3 rawhide pre-6.8.2 packages shortly to see if they fix
anything.
