This happened to me yesterday while compiling Mozilla (which took
longer than a "make buildworld"!)  The mouse just went haywire,
clicking and moving all about the screen, rearranging my KDE desktop,
and panel items, randomly selecting menu items.  It was quite a sight.

My syslog messages look like this:

Aug 16 16:31:01 onceler /kernel: psmintr: out of sync (00c0 != 0000).
Aug 16 16:31:33 onceler last message repeated 143 times
Aug 16 16:33:31 onceler last message repeated 594 times
Aug 16 16:40:28 onceler last message repeated 996 times

Luckily I was able to get to another virtual console and kill things
off cleanly and power cycle the box.

uname -a:
FreeBSD onceler.kciLink.com 4.1-STABLE FreeBSD 4.1-STABLE #0: Mon Aug 14 15:10:38 EDT 2000     khera@onceler.kciLink.com:/u/onceler1/usr/obj/u/onceler1/usr/src/sys/ONCELER  i386

The box was cvsup'd the same day as the kernel build.
