2.1.93 dies for me sometime during boot: can't tell exactly when because
my APM screen blanking kicks in and 2.1.93 won't wake it up again.
The 2.1.93 bugs are actually very *good* things in my book: there have
been random inconsistencies with APM on a variety of different machines;
hopefully now that the bug is fully exposed we'll be able to track it
down.
The APM bugs are NOT due to the 2.8.0 compiler thing: early-clobbers and
what-have-you are a completely different thing. I'm still using 2.7.2.X
and APM goes belly up for me in 2.1.93. [I should double-check this,
though--there's the possibility that even 2.7.2.x is compiling the code
wrong].
The 'saveHistoryInterval' thing above seems to trigger a disk access,
which you're saying can bring the machine out of the APM funk. disk
access==interrupt, maybe? I'll look into it.
