Every so often when I've been in WordWriter for about an hour, the keyboard
will start slowly repeating the last 10 or so keys I've typed.  After filling
about a line and a half with this stuff, the machine will crash, twice:
two or three bombs the first time, and ten the second.

Has anyone else seen behavior like this?  It's very intermittent, and I'm not
sure what the problem could be; my first guess would be the keyboard chip
running away with itself.  I've never seen it happen anywhere but in
WordWriter, but I spend 90% of my time there.  The only thing I've ever
done to the keyboard chip is remove it from its socket when I had a battery
backup from MicroTime on it; that's no longer there.
