I suspect that this is irrelevent.

>Description:

I use a modified keyboard map.  /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/my.map
has the following line modified,

  090   cr     rctrl  rctrl  rctrl  rctrl  rctrl  rctrl  rctrl   O

When I act as described in "How-To-Repeat", syscons will begin thinking
that one of the ctrl keys is always pressed.  ie. pressing a `d' sends
^D.  It then becomes necessary to reboot (since the computer is quite
unusable).  If X is running, it, of course, is not affected.

This did not happen (I don't _believe_ it happened) in the SNAP of 2.2
that I had been running before.

I could not find any open prs that looked related.  The only modification
to syscons.c I found that might be relevant was 1.98.


>How-To-Repeat:

kbdcontrol -l /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/my.map ; # Where my.map has 090 -> cr
                                                  # Copy line from Description
  # Now, press the lctrl key, hold it down, and then press the rctrl key
  # Now, press `d' (or any key, for that matter), and you will be logged out.
  # Warning...  You will have to reboot to return syscons to its normal
  # state...
