syscons can get confused about the state of the CTRL key.  I see
exactly this if i hit ^C to sendmail just before the keymap changes
since the key up event is after the keymap change and that key is no
longer ctrl.

However, hitting the control key several times seems to fix this.
Next time you see the problem, you might want to try this.
