Thanks for the hint. My PC is a homebrew machine, not a Dell PC. I have

But I do not have any idea whether the firmware differs.

This afternoon I came across a X-server related thread where problems
with the new "kbd" driver were reported; my Ubuntu uses "X Window System
Version 7.1.1". I simply changed my /etc/X11/xorg.conf configuration from

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "de"
Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
Option "XkbOptions" "lv3:ralt_switch"
EndSection

to

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard" #!!! changed from "kbd"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "de"
Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
Option "XkbOptions" "lv3:ralt_switch"
EndSection

The system is now up and running for more than 3 hours without any
unwanted zeros. Maybe it's an incompatibility of my hardware and this
driver, or simply a bug in the "kbd" driver ... So, keep fingers crossed.

Interesting. 'kbd' is supposed to be the latest'n'greatest.
Did you test with and without the 'nodeadkeys' and 'lv3:ralt_switch' (wtf is that?) options?
Sure your keyboard is a pc105 version?

Anyway, whatever works. If you make it three hours, then you're probably good to go.
