I did a little poking around, and found this paragraph on a web forum
somewhere:

  For historical reasons, on a Sun keyboard, the keys labeled "Stop" and
  "Again" are registered as F11 & F12, and the keys labeled "F11" & "F12"
  are registered as SunF36 & SunF37.  (The F11 & F12 keys were added to
  the keyboard layout years after F1-F35 were all assigned to various
  keys, so they were added to the end instead of breaking all applications
  written to use the older keyboards.)

Hmmm... I don't have a Sun box to try this on, so this is a bit of a stab
in the dark, but would the following patch work?
