hard crash when snd-ice1712 loads

Using snd-ice1712 under rc6 (but not rc3) I observe:

    init.d/alsasound start
Starting sound driver: snd-ice1712 done

... and that's all she wrote.

The kernel crashes, hard.  It won't respond to
ctrl-alt-delete.  The num-lock light won't respond to
num-lock key.  (These symptoms are often associated with a
tight loop with the interrupts disabled.)

It is interesting to note that this card works fine under
rc3.  Unfortunately there has been a drastic rearrangement
of the code, so it won't be a simple matter of using diff
to highlight the differences.
