Hi, all!

I found an interesting bug on the 3MINs we have here.  I'm running
NetBSD 1.1, the snapshot kernel.

The symptoms of the bug:

The right compose character and shift keys simply do not work.  this is
a sentence i typed while holding down the left shift.  THIS IS THE
SAME SENTENCE< WITH LEFT SHIFT>

Voila, here is a paragraph that I filled in Emacs with left compose
character q (M-q).

qHere is the same paragraph, which didn't get filled by Emacs because I typed right compose character q (M-q).

It even left behind a cute little "q"!

Here is the output of dmesg, for those who are interested.
