As you have found out ;-), many people have seen this problem, and it
has been around for a long time.
It is most probably a problem in the ADB driver. Chris, on your iMac, is
that with a USB keyboard? If yes, then it gets stranger...
Other than that, it seems nobody has bothered enough to trace the bug to
its root.
