This happens to me sometimes when using tip(1C) -- I'll be typing away
and will accidentally enter a [Control]-A instead of a [Shift]-A.

From the man page:

     "raisechar
          (char) The input character used to toggle upper case
          mapping mode; abbreviated rc; default value is `^A'."

Hitting another ^A should turn it off, re-enabling upper&lower-case mode.
