Me too. Have had this problem since I got a "Intellimouse" PS/2 wheel-mouse. (It worked fine with previous mice (no wheel)). With any scheduler in 5-CURRENT and even more frequent in 4-STABLE, IIRC. Using moused or not doesn't make a difference. Get these messages on console: "psmintr: out of sync", and the mouse freezes then goes wild for a few seconds. Can happen under load and sometimes when closing Mozilla (not often). It could be related to the psm-driver. Or maybe I have a bad mouse, I don't know. I will try another mouse, but it does work perfectly in Linux and Windogs... mj
