There was one occasion when, everytime I typed a key while in the
browser (``File Viewer'' now?), my session went *instantly* to the
logon screen.  (Normally the filename-matching panel would pop up).
This behavior was repeatable everytime I logged back on.  This was
either on a NeXTcube 030 running 2.0 or on a NeXTstation with 2.0.  (I
wasn't keeping careful notes at the time).

The problem went away (I think after a reboot) and has never occurred
again.
