On Solaris, KEY_TYPED KeyEvent objects will come through
without modifiers for many characters, mostly digits and symbols.
This messes up JTextComponent keymapping pretty badly, because
extra characters will show up in the text if a command is mapped
to, say, ctrl-space (set-mark command in EMACS).

Note: This bug is present in JDK 1.2.2U, which isn't a choice
on the form.

A sample follows:
-----
package bugsample;

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

/**
 * This is a sample for a bug I submitted. The description follows:
