Rob Pike can be suspicious, it's my use of the keyboard that was bugged.
Until today, I used the Compose (on sun) or Alt (on pc) like a Control or
Shift key, keeping it pressed while typing 1 and 2 to get ½, for example.

Nevertheless, if one keeps Compose pressed (on a SLC at least), it repeats
the last typed character.
