  Brian, take a peek at my previous response to this subject.  This
situation can occur any time you have a large interrupt load and the
mouse gets bumped (doesn't have to be very far, a large truck driving
by has done it to me...)

  If you have a corner clock or anything else that's timer interrupt
driven, I would suggest you consider removing it before running any
other program (like Megaroids) that ties itself into the interrupt
system then tries to do too much on each interrupt tick...
