Well, it does.
Unfortunately, your patch makes things much worse than what I started out with.
Not only keys are lost (more often that not, I think), sometime they also 'get
stuck', i.e. get repeated about 10-20 times (I did not count).

The interrupt count was increasing quite fast. It had reached more than
4,000,000 when I finally managed to type the whole command.

The original problem might have gone unnoticed due to bad typing. This patch
makes my computer unusable.
