I suspect it's a problem with Kermit's keyscan.  A quick check on my logic
analyzer showed what appeared to be two competeing keyscans occurring, one
being the C64 kernel's and the other a RAM-based routine, presumably Kermit's
C128 driver.  Why it appears to affect only key row 2 (A,D,G...) I don't know.

If I can get the source code from Ray or Kent (and I have time :-)  I'll
look into it further.
