 I just tried with another PS/2 keyboard and could _not_ reproduce the
 problem.  Then I tried with the original keyboard (HHKB Lite 2) and a
 5.0_STABLE kernel (instead of 5.99.12) on the same system, and again
 could _not_ reproduce the problem.  So it seems to be a regression
 introduced somewhen after netbsd-5 was branched, but only affecting
 _some_ PS/2 keyboards.
 
 Doesn't make debugging easier, I guess... ;-)
