    Subject[2.3.20] cat /dev/psaux freezes machine
    From
    Date
    Kernel 2.3.20 (compiled with gcc version 2.95.2 19990906 (prerelease)
    -- ugh, well, the Debian people seem to think that's ok), UP, on an
    Pentium II box (with Asus P2L97 mainboard). Kernel was booted with
    `init=/bin/sh', so this is complete a userspace issue.

    deneb:/# ls -l /dev/psaux
    crw------- 1 root root 10, 1 Oct 11 12:22 /dev/psaux
    deneb:/# cat /dev/psaux > /dev/null
    [^C has no effect here, but ENTER still causes line feeds.]
    [Now move the mouse.]
    [The keyboard is dead. Magic SysRq doesn't work.]

    I haven't tried yet whether it's only the keyboard which is dead.
