You know, I expect that's because dtop.c does not have the relevant
code fragment to check for a DO key jump into the debugger when it
sees one.  Not the japanese keybaord at all Time for a PR.

I doubt i will find time to fix this myself before the release, but if
you come up with a good fix, I'll commit it and ask for a pullup.

``can not get into kernel debugger, no workaround'' sounds pretty
critical to me :) :).


It might be cleaner to move the check into the LK-201 [sic]
keycode-to-ASCII state machine and be done with it, as maximum entropy
suggests.  I think that will have to wait for after 1.3.
