This has happened twice so far (in about a day of working with xorg 1.6.99.901), both times on the same machine (while 2 other machines running the same software are ok), and both times under fairly heavy load (compiling stuff and playing a video at the same time):

While typing, a key appears to get stuck, just repeating the character over and over, even long after the key has been released; at the same time, new key presses (such as Ctrl+Alt+Backspace) are ignored.

ssh-ing in and restarting the X server fixes it; I doubt it's a hardware problem because this never happens while in text mode.

Xorg-server 1.6.99.901
libXi 1.2.99.4
xf86-input-keyboard 1.3.99.1
linux 2.6.31

The keyboard is a USB Logitech Classic New Touch Keyboard (46d:c315).
