        And hey, it stayed up for the whole test!  Lucky dog!

        Hopefully the JavaOS/B model is equally elegant; I'm investigating
it as I'm rewriting the keyboard driver.  Since it JavaOS/B is now
defunct, I'm more inclined to roll our own driver/device model.  We'll
see.  (I don't want to start doing major hackery to support classpath
until the gc stuff is firmly in place...)
