Hello all.

Please consider following scenario:

1. go to your console and make sure the "Caps Lock" is not active
2. run 'kbdcontrol -l ru.koi8-r'
3. run 'kbdcontrol -l us.iso'
4. run 'kbdcontrol -l ru.koi8-r' again
5. press the [Caps Lock] button
6. use "up" and "down" arrow keys to get recently entered 'kbdcontrol -l
us.iso' and press [Enter]

At this step my keyboard hangs totally, however the system could be
accessed by ssh. This is 5.3-RELEASE-p5 on i386. I beleive the same hangs
could happen with other keymaps those use the [Caps Lock] key as a switch key.
