Well, after I got the IIsi to work, and before my HD died, I played
with X, and the 'a' problem *was* intermitent. This was definitely an
MRG kernel. I saw it only under twm and vtwm, and it *did* depend on
the keybindings of the window manager. I guessed that it involves
the fact that the 'A' keycode = 0. I didn't try any other wm's.
