One more followup (I swear I'm done, really!)... I have a laptop here that runs at 150MHz when it is in the lowest running CPU power save mode. At that speed, this bug causes a delay of more than 300ms and is enough to cause loss of keyboard input. I have to switch into high speed mode before I try to type anything, else I end up with random typos. Very annoying. -DG David G.
