Which just shows hor differently different machines can react. I have one
pretty positive report already, and now one which calls it "utterly
buggered".
Oh, well.

I'm rather surprised. The code shouldn't have changed anything like that,
especially as the tulip driver doesn't even use disable/enable_irq() as
far as I know (and without disable_irq(), the code behaviour should not
have changed).

Even so. Could you try with gcc-2.7.2.1 and no PC speaker driver (and no
modules) just to cut down on "noise" in the environment. I'd feel happier
not having to worry about compilers etc - maybe the changes triggered a
compiler problem..
