The same thing happened to me after a particularly long session. It was 
definitely caused within emacs, not by windoze, and the correct 
keymapping was restored on restarting emacs. If it happens again I'll 
try to track down the cause and report back, though I'm rather hoping it 
doesn't happen again.
