This bug causes spurious characters to be generated. Hold down any three
keys that are on three corners of a parallelogram. The key at the fourth
corner will also be generated.

For example, hold down QZU and you will get  QZMU  I did NOT hold
down the M key, it was generated by the bug. 

Most of the time this will never show up, but every once in a while it
zaps me.
