Sheared keyway????

Anybody have any experience with the crankshaft keyway shearing? While driving this a.m. on my way to get an inspection sticker(great timing) my 745T died while under spirited acceleration. I could peek into the t-belt cover enough to see that the belt was not turning when the starter was cranked. I was thinking that the belt may have lost a few cogs down on the crank pulley but when I tried late this p.m. to turn the cam pulley bolt with a wrench everything turned fine so it appears that the t-belt is intact. However, the accesory belts do not turn while spinning the cam bolt and if I turn the accessory belts by hand they all turn but the t-belt doesn't. I am guessing the keyway has broken/sheared/disintegrated. It's too cold and dark right now to dissasemble any further. Anyone have any similar experiences?

Dan

p.s. the t-belt only has about 15k on it
