When ever I use Terminal, within a few minutes, my keyboard gets crazy
and begins auto-repeating a random character; or, acts as if the control
key was depressed; or, the shift ws depressed; or even the alt key,
there after, all keys I type cause crazy things to happen. Lately, even
after exiting windows the phenomenon continues. Nothing short of a hard
reboot fixes it.

I am using: AST Premium/286, original kbd, Telebit trailblazer plus, 2Mb
RAM, configured 896Kb expanded, OEM-Paradise VGA driving a Sony 1304 in
800x600x256(16?), Microsoft bus mouse.

Has anyone experienced this? Is it Win3 or is my keyboard dying? No
other application does this to me.

Thanks in advance.
