- This is hard to tell. Is it possible to overflow the AES buffer while
- you are _not_ waiting for an event? If you tell evnt_multi that you are
- waiting for MU_KEYBD, and then it returns a keyboard event, will the AES
- put another keyboard event in the pipe while you are still processing the
- last one?
