Sorry, I need to emend my original report:  I said/implied the bug was
100% reproducible, but it's not.

I just reproduced it twice by doing the following:
#/etc/rc.d/moused restart

I do that eight or ten or more times, rapidly, before the bug is
triggered.  The number of tries will vary depending (I think) on
the speed of repetition.  Maybe doing it from a shellscript would
show it quicker.
