Thanks Olaf and Oisin!

I had applied the spinlock patch before, but I also had a black screen
and thought the kernel simply froze and became useless. After reading it
could take up to 5 minutes to continue, I adjusted the patch as
described in the sourceforge bug tracker, and low and behold! I have
typed about 300 characters after achother without a single key missing!
By tonight I will try to stress the system some more to see if this
indeed did the trick and removed the key problem totally!

score 1:0 for Linux over Windows ;-) It rocks that you can change it
yourself to make it working!

Regards,
- Jorgen
