161.0. "Help! Keyboard errors in Ultrix" by MSBIS1::LANDINGHAM (Guy M.,BXB1-1/F11,293-5297) Wed Feb 08 1989 16:52

I am running DECwindows with Ultrix V3.0 on a VS2000.

The file /usr/adm/syserr/syserr.<hostname> keeps growing at an incredible
rate.  After some experimenting, I found out that I can make it grow by 
repeatedly pressing the F1 (hold) key.

When I run "uerf" (the error lister), I get many, many instances of the
same error:

	sm0: smkint: keyboard error, code = b6

I've seen this same error message mentioned elsewhere, where a reference was
made to dlogin.  However, this occurs in just a plain window (the first one
opened) at the shell prompt.

Can someone help me out, please?

Thanks.
