Subject: minor pcvt(?) problem...

Just thought I'd ask...
I have a dell optiplex gx1 computer (400 MHZ pentium II) running netbsd
1.3.2. Occasionally, when I switch between virtual terminals the keyboard
hangs. I can still login remotely on the computer, i.e. the computer is
not hung, just the keyboard (could be the mouse is also hung, don't know).
Is this a known problem? Do I need a pcvt fix? Is there a work around,
like telling pcvt to reset the keyboard somehow? At this point I just
login remotely and reboot. I haven't lost any work as a result (not yet,
anyway) so it's not a big deal. It's just inconvenient.
Thanks!
