I am pretty sure I did *not* hit Num Lock last, though the system was under load - multiple builds going on, jackd running, and video playback. I tried to toggle Num Lock to see if the machine was really locked hard, and it worked for a while (though it did not go on/off exactly once for each time I hit it), then stopped responding. This happened with the timer + soundcard IRQs direct, and with timer + soundcard + RTC direct. Lee
