Last night my machine drowned in out of sync errors. I had this problem
shortly after my machine drowned in microtime running backwards problems.
This was *not* on an Alpha, but on an AMD Athlon.
Only difference was that I got (0000 != 0080), IIRC.

I was just downloading some stuff. During the download my microtime started
running backwards. I rebooted and powered down, but after that the problem
remained. Only after I let the machine sit switched off for an hour or so (I
had to do the dishes anyway) it came back and worked.
This is with a logitech cordless wheelmouse, FreeBSD 4.1-stable as of monday
night, and X11 3.3.6. I think I've e-mailed you a scan of the bottom of my
mouse a few months ago, so you should have the numbers. :)

I will try your patch. It looks like the kind of hack that could have helped
me last night.

are a distraction which demand attention, and
it's not as good as cinema because the pictures
