I've always had this problem with Linux and USB keyboards. If the CPU
is really busy it misses the key release and just keeps repeating. When
I had a 133 MHz Pentium it was really bad -- an Xterm scrolling rapidly
would peg the CPU enough to not allow USB events through, so if you held
down the enter key for a moment at a command prompt it would just keep
going until you minimized the window. I've never seen this with a PS/2
keyboard.
