I experienced the same thing, too -- but only 2 or 3 times in recent
months (< 1% of the wake ups).

And I have a similar problem that might be related:  With kernels
starting from 2.4.19 (I think) I have key repetition problems that
involve the ctrl and alt key under X.  I had this in galeon, when
changing tabs, and in sawfish, when I lower windows.  In both cases it
sometimes makes several "steps" at once.  This problem disappears when I
switch back to a 2.4.17 kernel.  My XFree is 4.2.1.

This is reproducible for me, but since the interrelationships are quite
complex I don't have a idea where the original problem might be.  Any
hints where I might start to look?
