I'll be durned - never would have thought it was an existing bug - I
thought it was just my fat fingers doing something silly.  That
Shift-Numlock combo to 'fix' it is handy though - I've messed up the
number pad on several users machines and since they don't have easy
access to keyboard preferences (by design) they've got no easy way to
fix it.

Thanks NoOp!
