Me too, in both Mandrake and Debian. I've narrowed it down (I think) to
the scroll-wheel sometimes being "hung" on the top of the resistance bump,
then slipping down to the next detent on its own volition (which has the
effect of scrolling the page). I put down to crappy design: the friction on
the wheel needs to be greater than it is.
