This is the second time I've had this happen, so maybe it's not a
complete fluke.  I walked away from my computer for a while, and when
I came back, my mouse didn't work.  I'm running X using sysmouse and a
Mouse Systems PS/2 optical mouse, and it was just dead.. no movement,
no buttons.  Last time this happened (about two weeks ago), I killed
moused and restarted it and it worked again - sort of.. about half of
the button presses were being dropped, and movement was very sluggish,
so I rebooted.

This time, moused wouldn't restart:
moused: Unable to open /dev/psm0: Input/output error

I tried again:
moused: Unable to open /dev/psm0: Device not configured

I'm using "moused -p /dev/psm0 -t auto".

The following has appeared in dmesg output:

psm0: failed to disable the device (psmclose).
psm0: failed to get status (psmclose).
psm0: failed to enable the device (doopen).

I will be doing a make world tonight, so maybe this problem won't
happen in the new architecture.
