I don't think this is the problem, or at least, not the only one. You
can get this to happen without involving keystrokes at all.
Set the LowSpaceWatcher threshold to 150 *megabytes* and then run
Smalltalk createStackOverflow
and, in Linux, you'll never get the low space notifier; or if you do,
you'll also get an Emergency Evaluator and the system will be locked
up, with createStackOverflow *still* running, and an eventual crash.
So this seems deeper than not seeing keystrokes.
Best,
Mike
