Bug#374026: Keyboard Stops Working Bug

[Matthias Schniedermeyer <ms@citd.de>]

Hi


I've have been bitten by this bug several times on 2 different machines.
As Far As i Could Determine it happens when you press a modifier-key
(CTRL/ALT/Shift/...) while at the same time the clock of the machines
changes time.

One of my machines has a EXTREMLY poorly clock which an error of >1
Minute per Hour and i always hit the bug at the point where i had
scheduled a cronjob that syncronized the time via ntpdate.

So AFAICS the problem is when a modifier-key is pressed while the clock
 changes times.

cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous.
