Did MkLinux by any chance borrow NetBSD's code for that?  The problem
sounds _very_ familiar....  I'm under the impression that it has to do
with the fact that the keyboards with hard locking caps lock send the on,
but no off, and then send an off afterwards, as do, evidently, the
extended keyboards of some varieties, but some of the others with the
"soft locking" caps keys send an on followed by an off, just like a normal
key would.  Can anyone confirm this?
