cygwin forgets CTRL key press

[Owen Rees]

A quick test with xev under both Linux and Cygwin/X on two systems I have 
here shows a key release event for CTRL about 4 seconds after I release 
whatever other key I pressed - I was still holding the CTRL key down!

I also see this in a standard Windows Command Prompt window (i.e. Cygwin 
not involved) but it is harder to judge the delay there.

I suspect it may be the keyboard or perhaps the KVM switch, but at least 
for me it is not Cygwin specific.

It also happens for SHIFT, and probably other modifiers too, but I have not 
tested that.
