Mine is "AMD-based".

Actually, it *probably* also happened in 2.4 with apm, but it always recovered automagically within second or so -- so it was "damn that machine is unresponsive" not "keyboard failed again, time for power button".

Yes, it can buffer only so-many keys and if the last one it *can* remember is press, you get an autorepeat.
