	It seems will flipping through one of the 12 virtual
	terminals we have hooked to the console, that a dead
	session locked up the keyboard. This seems to have
	been cured by unplugging and re-plugging in the keyboard.

	So, the highest possible problem might be that
	the keyboard is going to break soon. Barring that
	is there a possiblity that OS keyboard handler
	may have been corrupted logically (hosed)?
