I think it's likely that you're getting an interrupt and that there's
something else that's interrupting and not getting cleared properly.
I'm trying to reproduce this on my AWS95, and I'm having the opposite
problem at the moment--I'm apparently not getting _any_ interrupts.

Unfortunately, I can't work on this any more at the moment as I have to
leave town for a funeral.  :-(

If no one has been able to fix this before I have a chance, I'll see
what I can do.

Have you tried the latest snapshot (of -current)?
