My ACPI interrupt number climbs by 8 about once every two seconds (step
function).

if I press the power button with Greg's patch (i.e. force PWRB not
PWRF), it jumps by 2 when I press the button (then another 8 less than
one second later).  I also get this in /var/log/acpid:

[Fri Feb  6 09:26:22 2004] received event "button/power PWRB 00000080 00000006"
[Fri Feb  6 09:26:22 2004] executing action "/etc/acpi/default.sh button/power PWRB 00000080 00000006"
[Fri Feb  6 09:26:22 2004] BEGIN HANDLER MESSAGES
[Fri Feb  6 09:26:22 2004] END HANDLER MESSAGES
[Fri Feb  6 09:26:22 2004] action exited with status 0
[Fri Feb  6 09:26:22 2004] completed event "button/power PWRB 00000080 00000006"

without the patch, the power button also causes the # of interrupts to
jump by 2, but I get nothing in /var/log/acpid.
