They don't.  This trackball has been perfect up until I did one of the
following:
(Of course I am not sure which caused the trouble)
1) upped the 3.9.+ dri CVS build to xfree 4.0 rpms from 3fx
2) used 'options buttons=4' with correct syntax (it is button two that
gives me the grief)
2a) used mousemanplus/ps2 as the mouse type (needed for 4 buttons?)
3) upped to enlightenment 0.16.4

I'll run gpm in a virtual terminal before starting X to see if it
misbehaves.
I also have two of these at work and one at home, so I will do a swap to
also 
check.  I really doubt it because I have never had a logitech screw up
like this.
