Description
On Linux (X86_64, arm), keys are stuck once pressed.
Press a key and it's pressed forever. The core is unusable like this.
Tried all input drivers. It only happens in this core. The rest of the cores, including the test core, don't have this bug.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the stuck-key behavior on Linux for both x86_64 and ARM, then compare this core's keyboard handling with the other cores and the test core mentioned in the report. Trace the input path from the libretro interface into DOSBox and verify that a key-release event reaches the core; done means keys release normally across the reported architectures and input drivers.
