I've received a couple of responses to my original note, and both
of them said "use kbd_mode -a".  Maybe I should have been more
explicit in the above, though I did say I use kbd_mode.

The problem is that kbd_mode may not get executed after the crash,
particularly when the crash happens due to NFS problems, so even
though I try to execute kbd_mode -a, it might not get executed.

I know that normally "kbd_mode -a" does get executed, because I
log out every day, which shuts down my X server.
