Hi Latz,

I also get this and hacked a fix into the Eiffel code to help, but it's
still not 100% and repeats for about 10 iterations occasionally. But at
least the keyboard does stop and can avoid you rebooting.

Are you positive it doesn't happen with 1.16.3 ?

I'm pretty sure it's related to the roottimeout code that was added, but
not been able to get far enough to work out the real issue.
