NetBSD macppc 4.99.4
>Description:
I have an iMac Rev.C(266, strawberry) Japanese model.
After installing -current snapshot of 20061210,
(This is the first time and first machine that I install
macppc port of NetBSD)
it normally boots.

However, when I press caps lock key, no the screen
freezes and no keys respond.

Then I disconnected the USB JIS keyboard from the machine(iMac),
and once more I connected the keyboard.

This time no caps lock LED inidicator lamps, but
caps lock functions and no more freeze.

What is this?

On Mac OS 8.6J/9.2.2FU/OS X 10.3 , there's no problem.
>How-To-Repeat:
Boot iMac with Japanese JIS USB keyboard,
and press caps lock key. You'll see the screen
freeze and no keys respond.

 Could you please check if this happens with a different USB keyboard as 
 well?

 OK, I don't have another USB keyboard for test,
 but I'll buy one and test once more.

 Thanks.

 Coincidentally I got an iMac keyboard, tried it on a PMac G4 with  
 4.0_RC1 - no ill effects. It's a US keyboard though.
