Keydown fires 6 times under jQuery 1.4.2 and Webkit

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I have a setup which worked fine until I upgraded jQuery to 1.4.2 just now, 
which looks like this:

jQuery(document).bind('keydown.hotkeys', {combi: 'J', disableInInput: true}, 
function() { console.log('J was pressed') });

After 1.4.2, pressing J will fire the event six times instantly. Using keyup 
instead of keydown works fine (but doesn't feel right, so...).

And, as implied, the same code works fine in Firefox.

I have seen this as well. I was using hotkeys on a site, and I started getting 
bug 
reports as soon as I switched from jQuery 1.3.X to 1.4.X  The event was being 
fired 
multiple times per key.
