   I've had this happen a few times in the last year.  No idea what the
   cause is, but it certainly doesn't inspire confidence in what else might
   be changing behind my back.

   Anybody got a clue as to what the cause is?

NCSA TelNet has the annoying habit of installing its own keyboard
map when it starts up.  This map is a slightly modified US map.
My fix was to patch my copy of TelNet with my desired (dvorak)
key map.
