The mouse on sloth is behaving erratically.
Generally, it occasionally stops working by either refusing to move
the cursor at all, or refusing to move to the left (moving the mouse
either right or left results in the cursor moving to the right). This
is fixed by rebooting the machine, and doesn't happen very often.
Today, it failed around 3am, and someone reported it to me. When I
checked it this morning around 10, it worked fine. But while I was
using it, it stopped working again. After I had logged onto another
machine, and went back to it 15 minutes later, it was working again,
so I could properly log out. Both of these failures were of the
refusing to move to the left type.
