Matt, I downloaded a FreeBSD live CD from February this year. I think it is
version 5.2. They say they will have 5.3 soon. It has the same stuttering
issue. When I type "du" and a quick space then I get "du u". I could repeat
it consistently on FreeBSD and on DragonFly. I will try to find other PRs
as this is a bit annoying - I have to type slower than I want. At least the
mouse works perfectly and the patch doesn't have anything to do with the
stuttering issue as far as I could find out.

Cheers,
Roland - with hhihs stutterirngn keyboardr
