That was fixed a couple of months ago. Please replace with up-to-date
complaints.

    keyboard: Prevent potential infinite loop
    
    XKB would notify us in the same way if the lockedMods
    changed because of a programmatic, or a physical/human change.
    
    This causes us changing the Num-Lock state generating another
    event on top of the one we just processed, and might cause
    infinite loops and 100% CPU usage.
    
    Instead, we now only apply the settings:
    - on startup
    - when remember-num-lock is changed to true
