On further investigation, I suspect that the problem is that key
release events aren't being passed around properly.

Subject: svgalib gets control key mucked up after console switch

Package: svgalib
Version: 1.25-3

I have a problem which appears to be cause by svgalib.  [Though it's
difficult to be sure, because no test or demo programs are included
with the package.]

Basically, when I switch virtual consoles away from a program using
svgalib and switch back, some things act as if the control key were
pressed.

Some keys trigger an interrupt (killing the program), and virtual
console switching works without holding down the control key (the
first console switch requires control-alt-fkey).
