Running this shell script causes the control key to malfunction (e.g.
pressing ctrl-c results in a lowercase c on the screen) on VAXen and
keeps the keyboard from reading characters at all most of the time on RT's.

while true 
do
	xset -led 1
	xset led 2
	xset -led 2
	xset led 3
	xset -led 3
	xset led 1
done

I realize that this isn't really something I should be concerned
about, but wouldn't it be neat if the led's could blink in order?
