Weird bug...

It's not a deadly bug, but it's kinda strange.  When I'm
typing, and I type TR quickly it comes out TzR, and epoch
beeps.  Note that this doesn't involve Meta or Control at
all -- just plain old Shift-tShift-r.  Anyone have any idea
what could be causing this?  I'm running Epoch4.0 on a
Sun with SunOS 4.1.1.

robert@cogsci.edinburgh.ac.uk suggested that I try Ctrl-H L (view-lossage).  
It turns out that on the keyboard which comes with the NCD17c xterminal, 
typing T and R *together* gives you 

 T ESC [ 2 2 3 z R

Both keys were down together for an instant and...

Strangely enough, this doesn't seem to happen with any other 
key combination I tried, just TR.

Strange but true...
