Actually, I'm very glad you mentioned it. :-)
I found the place where the key combinations you mentioned are defined.
Start->Control Panel->Regional and Language
Options->Languages->Details...->Key Settings...
It looks like if you have more than one language defined, a default key
combination of Left Alt+Shift is enabled to switch between input languages.
I could easily be pressing that key combination accidentally on my way to
C-M-\ (indent-region).
You can customize or turn off this key sequence, or remove all but one
language in the "Text Services and Input Languages" dialog that appears when
you click the "Details..." button in the navigation sequence given above.
I'm all but positive that this is the cause of my problem.
Thanks for the info!

Chris,
I had a similar problem but different enough that I hesitate to mention it.
For me, it switched to Chinese and seemed to affect other programs as well,
although the problem always started when I was running Emacs.
This may not be your problem but maybe my solution will help you or someone
else.
My problem turned out to be with Windows XP and not with Emacs or JDE. Some
language packs on Windows XP steal key combination (such as C-SPC and
others) and use them to switch input language. If you have other languages
installed on your Windows machine, that may be the problem. I solved it
using a key-remapping program called AutoHotKey which stole the key
combinations back.
Cheers,
Benji Shults
