That sounds weird. Have you made sure you have the correct keyboard 
setting (ie. US 102-key, etc.)? Have you tried a different keyboard? Are 
there any other system problems?

This is a long-shot, but have you tried booting into memtest (should be 
a grub menu entry)? I once had a bad block of RAM and things only 
started to go screwy after a certain period of usage time. I guess if a 
memory register in the upper area is bad, the system won't encounter it 
immediately until after a while of caching/reading/writing etc. The most 
noticeable problem I was getting, were open apps just suddenly 
vanishing... no error, no dialog. Just open one instant, gone the next.

Good luck!

-Steve.
