It was only a detailed bug report with an initial stab at a fix, and I
regret sending that in a patch format.

I see.  I misunderstood the purpose of the pipe then.  It was not
designed to be a buffer for 1000+ input events, it was designed for 1
event at a time, in order to avoid this.

I see that dropping keyboard events makes perfect sense, but mouse
button release events should not be dropped.  Any ideas?
