Haven't checked.

What I can tell you is that the Open Firmware routines you use to 
access the keyboard changed and the code we put in to look for all 
three possible routine names wound up making some wrong guesses as to 
which routine to use.  The guesses in -current seem to match reality.

If you want details email Allan Briggs.  He got bit, and he put the 
fixes in -current.
