System: NetBSD nutcracker.dynarc.se 1.5S NetBSD 1.5S (NUTCRACKER) #2: Mon Mar 12 16:45:25 CET 2001 lha@nutcracker.dynarc.se:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/NUTCRACKER i386
Architecture: i386

>Description:
	I make my keyboard behave by map Caps_Lock to Control_L in
	/etc/rc.local with the following command:

	/sbin/wsconsctl -w map+="keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L"

	Now the problem is that if Caps_Lock is "down" with running
	the command, then it continues to be down.

	Then it's very hard to log in.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Run above command while Caps_Lock is down and find your
	keyboard only half as usable as before.

>Fix:
	Sorry.
