What would happen if the kernel received two keypress events, and then one key- release event for a single key? I'd imagine that it'd disregard the duplicate keypress

Also, I'm not sure how the final issue I described could have occurred, since it appears to be keymap-related. Is there some special keycode that might be able to cause a change in the keymap? Also, does the behavior I described match any common keymaps? I typically don't set LANG or any of the other locale-defining variables.
