Very sorry for the wasted time.
When I tried the wired mouse I did not actually unplug the wireless
mouse receiver, so it was still generating scroll events every 200ms

No wasted time. Everyone got to sharpen their debugging tools.
The nicest part is, this person (it was Kent West, I think) who
suggested electromagnetic interference wasn't that off the mark
(I was one of those saying "nah, not the hardware..." :-)
Thanks for resolving the suspense.
Cheers
And Kent was probably right, the mouse battery died, the receiver upped
the gain, and something in the environment was making enough noise it
was being interpreted as a wheel related signal.
As a broadcast engineer I can easily visualize that.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
