AllChars seems the most obvious candidate, but when my keyboard
funnies - either the inability to type ")", or the more serious
apparent stuck shift key - I have tried stopping AllChars (it's tray
icon has Exit in its menu), and the fault doesn't go away. Equally, I
have AllChars set to run from start (at boot), but the funnies do not
appear from boot (though AllChars is working). The only other
intercepting s/w I can think of is Leeos's noisy keyboard - same lack
of correlation with the errors.


So what happens if you try disabling* both of those and then rebooting?

Trouble is, I wouldn't know if that had cured the problem(s), as I don't
know what triggers them. I would have to run for quite a long time to be
sure (well, fairly sure) that the problems were not going to occur:
certainly many days, possibly a week or two. The faults are not common.
Also, when they do occur, terminating those two - even with extreme
prejudice (-:! - _doesn't_ cure the problems when they _do_ occur.
