I've likely had it happen on a regular console too. I have just got so |
| 44 |
used to it, I don't pay it any attention. I suspect this is a deep |
| 45 |
issue somewhere. Maybe even as low level as the kernel somehow or close |
| 46 |
to it. |

It will be interesting to see what it is tho. Given how long it has |
| 49 |
been doing it here at least, it's going to be a old commit/change which |
| 50 |
may be difficult to track back. |
