I'm typing gibberish: ∑´¬¬≤ ˆß˜æ† †˙ˆß ˜ˆç´≥ πøøøøøøπ≥  ©®®®®®

My much abused aluminum G4 has started producing symbols on the screen instead of the letters I am typing. For example:
∑´¬¬≤ ˆß˜æ† †˙ˆß ˜ˆç´≥ πøøøøøøπ≥ ©®®®®®
œ∑´®†¥¨¨ˆˆøπåß∂ƒ©˙˙∆˚¬…æΩ≈≈ç√∫˜µ≤¡™£¢∞§¶•ªº–≠⁄€‹›fifl‡°·‚—±Œ„´‰ˇÁ¨ˆØØ∏∏ÅÍÎÏ˝ÓÔ
Other than that it seems normal. It doesn't do it all the time, and tends to start doing it once the PB has warmed up. I haven't changed any settings when it happens.

Has anyone encountered this problem, or have any idea if there might be a cure?

It might be something to do with the option key.
