My machine is currently doing this as well. The first keystroke in any cell is repeated in some systematic fashion (see below). Subsequent keystrokes in the cell are not repeated. It's really annoying. I use a Microsoft wireless keyboard if that should matter for any reason.

 

There's a message from earlier this month that discusses Windows 2000 hotfix KB824141.

I would also point out, Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-045, which may be related.

 

I am having this problem on S-Plus 2000 SR3, Windows XP SP2. My guess is that SP2 caused this problem on my machine.
