SysRQ oddities

Hi,
I've been having trouble trying out the Alt-SysRQ keys...
When I hit Alt-SysRQ-s, for example, the console beeps once at me.
showkey -s indeed shows scancode 0x54 for Alt-SysRQ
One odd behavior I found was that hitting SysRQ without Alt or Ctrl or anything
acts like Alt-SysRQ-k, killing all programs on the current console.
My keyboard is a Win95 keyboard. I am going to try this out with two other
keyboards shortly.
