>From your BUGS.TXT file:
238. Keystrokes might be transmitted out of order in Windows 95 (M)
In an interrupt driven system such as Windows 95, Windows NT, UNIX, etc, the
keyboard driver is called to handle each event as it occurs. When the system
is under heavy load, the events cannot be processed in real time and are
placed on an event queue. In Windows 95, CONAGENT.EXE has a bug that causes
the event queue to be processed in last-in-first-out rather than the expected
first-in-first-out order. Thus fast typists might occasionally see their
keystrokes transmitted in reverse order. And (you guessed it) this does not
happen in Windows NT or OS/2.
