Strange failure in atkbd

Hi there.

Just as Open Office 2 was finishing loading, my desktop vanished, the
screen went to white on black 80x25 text mode, and the following message
starting scrolling by, over and over, about two per second. I had no
mouse and no keyboard, and could not log in remotely; I had to hard
reboot.

[456789.123000]atkbd.c Spurious ACK in isa0600/serio. Some program, like
XFree86, might be trying access hardware directly

The numbers in the square brackets changed with each message.

It hasn't happened again, cross fingers.

Regards, K.
