well, at least vp/ix is allowed to modify the keyboard driver under xenix 386
which can cause problems if it crashes or if you kill it. on the hann(g)over
cebit fair i killed a vp/ic running procomm which caused the keyboard to f*ck up
when i switched back to the virtual concole on which it was running. i had to
cold boot the machine because i couldnt switch back to the other consoles, 
the response to alt-f* was ;c or something like that...
i asked a guy at sco's booth and he confirmed that vp/ic can modify the keyboard
driver. not very sophisticated...
i'd like to hear from someone using merge if he could check this one out.
