This is well-known (at least for people with USB keyboards). Interestingly,
it *only* seems to happen with the old Apple USB mini keyboard (the fullsize
is too new; haven't heard anything about it).
The problem only seems to happen when some (not all) groups of three keys
are hit too quickly. It could be because this keyboard physically allows you
to press more keys simultaneously, or it could be driver-related (or both).
The only solution for now seems to be type "cd " one key a time.
