I seem to find this happening on my system as well. I didn't dare to mention
it before, thinking the "bug" might be the two-legged creature sitting at
the keyboard...

I'm also using severn + updates, and for example, if in a console I
type "su -" I might sometimes see "su --------" instead, as just happened
just a few minutes ago. I have the latest ATHLON kernel from rawhide 
installed, and this is not a new machine. 
Some hardware specs: 
AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1.0 Gb.
ASUS ATX A7V-E (KT133 chipset).
"no-name" cheapo US keyboard.

I wonder if anyone else besides (just the two of us) has noticed 
this odd behavoir with keying in the console?

Elton.
