Heisenberg strikes again!

My RAWKEYS reader was hanging when I held a key down.  It dawned on me today
that I was printf()ing (for debugging - HA!) every IDCMP event I got (and forgot
about it because I'm normally on my own screen, with the printf()s going to 
the CLI window).  Sho 'nuff, the keys were repeating faster than printf() 
could keep up, so my program was getting stuck in the GetMsg() loop.

Sigh.

Today's Murphy's Law corollary:
"Debugging is most effectively accomplished immediately after posting the
problem to usenet."
