2.9 i386 mouse freeze, keyboard working, core dumped to leaf

[Antonio Huete Jimenez]

Hi Siju,

I'm also experiencing trouble in latest master with psm(4). I'm
currently trying to track down this issue. In the mean time, you can
set sysctl debug.psm.loglevel to 9 and let me know the messages that
it spits out when the mouse get stuck.

Cheers,
Antonio Huete
