[Cygwin/XFree86] Duplicate keystrokes in X Server

[Harold L Hunt II]

[BCCing seven people that have asked about this bug somewhat recently]

This bug has been around for a long time, but it was thought to be a 
Cygwin/XFree86-specific bug.  However, I recently learned that this is a 
general XFree86 bug that is reproducible on, probably, all other platforms.

Ivan Pascal submitted a patch to XFree86 that fixes the problem.  His 
description of the problem and his patch can be found in this archive of 
his email:

XFree86's Bugzilla Bug #301 also has information and discussion about 
this bug:

Finally, Ivan's patch was applied to XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-13, which can 
be downloaded and installed via Cygwin's setup.exe.  The "Test100" 
release notes describe the other changes made in 4.3.0-13:
