Wow. I actually have something to report. Anyways: This happens anytime
there is a keystroke in the buffer while starting up (pressing enter twice
as the bootloader, press enter too late, etc.). It happens exactly like
this every time. This is, of course, one of those "does it hurt when you
do that? then don't do that" kind of things, but maybe it will help fix
other bugs. Anyways, without further adieu, here is the screenshot (typed
in on another computer):

As can be seen, this machine is running stock everything. The machine
itself appears to have been unmodified since the day it left HP. This
error can be replicated with exactly the same results and numbers and etc.
if I press enter twice at the bootloader. If this is an FAQ or update in
1.3.1, then I spent a lot of time typing for nothing. :-)
