Hmmm..  I thought I was the only one with this problem, or my
father at least.  We got the same sporadic marking & numbers that
you describe, though we hadn't traced it to emm386 since it had
always been active.  What we did is switch keyboards; apparently
if you are using an old kbd it sometimes doesn't like it.
