Every  once in a while,   I find that the keyboard   "freezes up".  It
doesn't do it often enough  for me to point  a finger and say  "That's
the culprit".

XEmacs will get  into a state where  keyboard events seem to be  black
holed.  I'll try to  type something in, and not  see anything show up.
Moving the mouse around will change the mouse cursor  as it enters the
modeline, and  messages will pop  up  in  the message  area  ("button2
cycles to etc etc").  Clicking left-mouse will move the text cursor to
the new location, but typing won't insert there either.

Now for the  *real* weirdness: I  *cant* enter  a "cntrol-X control-S"
from the keyboard, because it's not listening.  However, I *can* go up
to the menubar, select "save" (which alledgedly does the same thing as
^X^S), and  *IT WILL ALL START WORKING  AGAIN*.  I haven't checked yet
if  selecting OTHER things  off the menubar  fix it as well.  Any text
that was  typed  while the  keyboard was hung   appears to be silently
discarded.
