Yes, this is a bug. It seems to happen when the keyboard spews things too fast for the kernel to handle. Unfortunately, with the more recent kernels, that means pressing the up and down arrow keys in the shell too fast gives me keyboard errors. Back down to 1.3.57, and I can hold the keys down and not get an error, with anything from about .65 to .76 (haven't tried .77 yet, got a job and all) I have to sit and press keys one at a time. I am a lazy typist and make quite a bit of use of bash's command history......... With the newer kernels, it's useless, my screen fills up with Keyboard error and Socket destroy delayed, and I can't see what I'm doing. (:
