0.63 ignores the 102 key which is not present on a US keyboard
(mostly for that reason). As some people prefer to have a foreign
keyboard layout, it was added (needs a hack to get it working as
SDL uses the \-symkey for this key on windows systems, for
whatever reason).

that is correct
sdl doesn't pass numlock capslock release codes to dosbox.
so we cheat a bit by releasing them (in the bios area) on every key

Searching at the SDL-bugpage, I found someone submitted a patch, and developers are looking into the problem, dated 27 Jan 2006. So hopefully in the next release it will be fixed.
