If it's any consolation, I'm now getting spurious interrupts happening
on IRQ 3, but it only happens once in a while.  A reboot or two will fix
the problem, but it might start up again later.  If I reboot an old
kernel the problem will not occur.

Normally I'd blame this on bogus hardware, but given that I can boot an
old kernel and it works fine I'm leaning towards software.  However,
this problem only occurs on my P/75 laptop, and not on my desktop box.

This problem showed up in the last 2 weeks, but I had other
modifications on my system that I blamed it on.  I've since removed all
of them and the problem persists.

ps. I'm going to be committing a new PS/2 mouse driver as soon as the
network between MT and WC clears whenever I get time. :)
