Chernicoff's program has several bugs in it, and this is a manifestation
of one of them.  I think he sets the event mask (filtering out mouseUp ?)
and it never gets reset.  Something like that.  Anyway, the behavior is
traceable to Chernicoff's program (sorry, but I saw this on the net a while
ago and don't remember exactly what the problem with the event mask was).
