This problem (missed key release) happens to me on all systems I have (Athlon + via, P3 + i440BX, P4 + 845...), most often when I do alt+right-arrow for walking through consoles (and for Andries: hitting key stops this, otherwise it endlessly switches all VTs around, and while kernel thinks that key is down, keyboard actually does not generate any IRQs, so keyboard knows that all keys are released).
