Yes, it can't be fixed easily.
But now the problem is isolated: MiNT has to find a way for stopping the 
TOS/EmuTOS key repeat at startup.

In my dirty patch I simulated a keyup at startup, but unfortunately for 
that I used an undocumented keyboard vector only available on TOS 2+ and 
EmuTOS. I'm not sure if keyboard keys can be cleanly simulated without 
that vector.

Another solution could be to detect if a key is pressed at startup, then 
wait for it to be released. I don't know if this can be done cleanly 
with TOS.

Any other ideas are welcome. Our life will really be better after fixing 
this bug in a clean way.
