I realize this may only be adding nose, but I've had similar problems
when I use an Atari trackball (modified) in place of the mouse.  I've
suspected it's the trackball (because the problems went away when I un-
plugged and re-installed the trackball).  A switch to disconnect the mouse
may be a reasonable stopgap solution.  Maybe it's a combination of a
faulty mouse and a bug in the keyboard chip.

the problems I mentioned are the pointer starts to go in only one direction
after a while.
