Hi tech@,
When using wscons, the key-repeat behavior of wskbd doesn't handle
the case where a key is pressed while a previous key-repeat is in
progress (and the previous key is still being held).
I've been using the following patch since OpenBSD 3.8 (the behavior
wasn't present in OpenBSD 3.7 and earlier).
