On a Sun 4/280 we are getting the same messages, but we are not using the
kbd_mode -a command.  I have called Sun about it, they suggested
increasing the users, the Stream data structures, and the NSTREAM
parameter.  I did this and installed the new kernel; it was a failure.

We are still getting ws_read_indev errors and it's getting more and more
frustrating.  Any ideas, you Sun Spotters??
