I have noticed exactly the same phenomena on some 150Mhz Pentiums that
I maintain. My computers are set up very similar to your, Diamon
Stealth 64 with 4Mb VRAM, 64Mb internal memory, Logitech serial mouse
and Keytronic keyboard. I have noticed that tho hanging has something
to do woth typing rate since it's the fastest typers that is most
often bit by this bug. I have somewhat removed the problem by
switching the keyboards to cheaper keyboards that force the users to
type more slowly :-<.

I have tried switching between pcvt and the standard console driver,
but this doesn't help. I don't think I've tried stopping xdm and
letting users start xdm manually (this is the next option on my list).

I have converted one computer to use FreeBSD instead and on that host
the problems disappeared.

Any other ideas of how to solve this sould be appreciated.

Best regards,
