I had this problem on several machines back around version 3.2.  I assumed
it was a problem between X11 and the keyboard driver.  I added a 2 second
delay before starting xdm and had no problems after that.  I've not seen
the problem without X11 being involved.  I admit I just forgot about it
after I got my workstation going. :-(
