A good tool for diagnostics always is the xev program. See
if something like

KeyPress event, serial 24, synthetic NO, window 0x1c00001,
    root 0x73, subw 0x0, time 1034406899, (-570,493), root:(12,632),
    state 0x10, keycode 77 (keysym 0xff7f, Num_Lock), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x1c00001,
    root 0x73, subw 0x0, time 1034406949, (-570,493), root:(12,632),
    state 0x10, keycode 77 (keysym 0xff7f, Num_Lock), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False

comes out when pressing the Num key.

You can always remap the Num Lock functionality onto another
key that doesn't fail after the 4th use - see xmodmap.
