Caveat: this was CT 7, not the current release.

The problem I saw was that CT's clock would start running at double the
normal speed. I wasn't able to determine just what caused the clock
speed doubling to happen, however it was somehow related to keyboard
activity. It occurred with two distinct brands of laptop, therefore I
suspect a software bug. I've never seem this happen with version 9.
