I used to get sooo many stray interupts it was insane.. My solution to the 
problem was to configure a device for every interupt being used by some
sort of hardward card in my computer.  For instance, in my case it was 
simply matter of configuring a lpt port for my parallel port card at irq 7..
not I get absolutely no stray interrupts...
