Ah. Well: it must be a hardware problem on your side, I definitely don't see
this and suspect others would have reported it, too. I'm pretty sure that in 
your case, the rollover logic is broken and send the first keys key-down
instead of the 2nds. Don't ask me _how_ this happens, but anyway, NetBSD
or AmigaOS wouldn't be able to change this.

Maybe a simple cleaning of the keyboard matrix might help.
