Bug Description
I believe this to be a relatively serious bug. In maverick, if I press the printscreen key, the keyboard will stop working until I restart the computer. After I hit printscreen, any other keys I press will add this to /var/log/messages:

Additional information: the printscreen key only seems to hang the keyboard if I have ever pressed the ALT key during the computer being on. If I've just started the computer, I can safely use the printscreen key until I use the ALT key - even pressing it by itself.
