Wow, I just assumed it was a local problem.  I'm also seeing unrequested
mouse movement, as if the signals from movements are repeated or
amplified.

The thing is, I'm using 4BSD, not ULE, so I wouldn't trouble Jeff to
look for a cause for that specific problem in ULE.


Me too. Have had this problem since I got a "Intellimouse" PS/2 wheel-mouse. (It worked fine with previous mice (no wheel)).
With any scheduler in 5-CURRENT and even more frequent in 4-STABLE, IIRC. Using moused or not doesn't make a difference.
Get these messages on console: "psmintr: out of sync", and the mouse freezes then goes wild for a few seconds.
Can happen under load and sometimes when closing Mozilla (not often).
It could be related to the psm-driver. Or maybe I have a bad mouse, I don't know.
I will try another mouse, but it does work perfectly in Linux and Windogs...
