Angry Auto-shutdown hotkey?

Recently, I've been experiencing this strange problem and I don't understand why it's happening.

At random times, I may be typing some lines of code in the XCode4 project window, and when I hit
the spacebar, an auto-shutdown dialog appears and asks if I want to turn off my computer?

I've accidently shutdown my computer doing this a couple of times, and it's driving me crazy.
This is the most ridiculous thing on MacOSX. I can't even re-produce it. It's some kind of spacebar hotkey combination.

How can I turn this thing off?

Here is the dialog:

Are you sure you want to shut down your computer now?
- Reopen windows when logging back in
- Restart Sleep Cancel Shut Down
I'm using a PC keyboard on MacOSX, and this dialog sometimes pops up when I'm trying to type in a line of code. I want to get rid of this blasted hotkey!

pretty weird stuff...

I would try repeating the same line of code until you can narrow it down to the key combo then try that key combo on you macbook keyboard or another keyboard so you can narrow it down to if its your key board or a mac thing.

I think the problem has something to do with the MacOSX eject button. Apparently, the combo key to shutdown
the computer is Ctrl+Eject on MacOSX. I have no idea where eject is on a PC keyboard, but the darn thing
keeps popping up at random times.

I did find a list of Keyboard Shortcuts listed under System Preferences -> Keyboard, but I didn't find
any that mentions the "eject" key.

And I recently installed a app called DoubleCommand that allows me to switch the Command/Control keys,
but I don't see an options that will let me disable the eject key.
