How often does this happen?  Under any reliable circumstances?  Do you
perhaps have an Eastern European keyboard layout enabled?  What about a
compose key of some kind (that introduces a mode)?

I'm unfamiliar with how keyboard maps work on Windows XP, but I know I
got really screwed up when I enabled Greek for the sake of one λ
