Hello Ingo,
I have been running pounder on my x86_64 box (rt7, 64-bit kernel) and
I see these after a couple of hours. First I see a bunch of
these a while -
[2006-07-28 17:13:51] (8515) snake.exe: START loop #0.
irq 209: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)

I am investigating, but just FYI in case you can point me to something.
