This is more than likely because you either have a bad serial connector (or USB connector) or you have numlock mapped to a special function in another program.
For keyboard input, you are actually using a HID driver (human interface device). Every time you press and depress a key there is a HID report being sent to the kernel that processes I/O. In most cases, this would be a report that contains what key, and what it did. In that aspect, pressing 'Num lock' is no different than any other letter or combination thereof.
This could be caused by software you have installed alongside EQ. More than likely, something is intercepting this report - as it's not making it to the EQ Client.
What kind of keyboard(s) did you use? Are they programmable? Did you have specific drivers downloaded for your keyboard?
