In order to eat my own dog food, I upgraded my laptop from 6.2 to 7.0.
This seemed to have gone well, until I started writing a long e-mail while
sitting on the couch today. As I was typing the e-mail, I noticed that my
typing skills seemed to have gone missing; there were words missing 2-3
letters, and other places where I was apparently holding down keyyyys.
Heh, that's a real example of the phenomenon right there.

I've noticed that setting keyrate to fast in rc.conf makes the keys
repeat themselves intermittently if you have usb keyboard... but this
has been happening to me in STABLE, so I don't know if it's related to
your issues.
