OK, I can look into that. I think I'll go through 9.5k to 9.5m to see
whether I can narrow it down. I have installed some new libraries from
ports since I first generated 9.5j, so maybe that could be the reason.
God knows that there's some really weird stuff put into libraries now
adays.

I have szet mapped to MOD1-_ so that it's in the same location as on a
German keyboard. I also noticed that par was remapped to the paragraph
symbol, a real PITA! I certainly don't have any mapping like that in my
.xmodmap.
