Sure. It's keycode 66 on press, keycode 164 for repeat and release.
It must be a keymap related because I just tried Firefox 3.5.11 under XP
in vmware player and it's doing the same thing. I rebooted w/o the
vmware modules to make sure that wasn't messing with the kbd drivers.
BTW, Icedove is doing a similar thing (I haven't gotten around to
opening a bug for that). It pulls up the address book when I hit caps
lock. Other apps seem fine: openoffice, various cli apps un rxvt and
gnome terminal.
