Hello,

I've successfully applied the patch supplied by Michael L. Hitch, and it
solved the problem.

I applied it to a 1.3.2-RELEASE kernel.

Since then I encountered another problem: At least when I interrupt some
process which consumes some system load, e.g. a make installing emacs,
the ctrl-key inverts its function: I have to press C-c instead of c, c
instead of C-c and so on.

Is it possible that this change has caused this? What info should I supply
to help finding out what's up?

As I'm new to kernel programming, I'll need some info before I could do
something on myself on that matter, at least where to start.

Any help is appreciated.
