Yes, that does it! Thanks!

I must say it's puzzling, though: _something_ was generating the 'strayintr 
c', and I guess that's now being caught by the bt driver. The kernel had 
decided (as the setup should have told it) that the 445C was using IRQ 
11, so where did the IRQ 12 signal come from? Should the bt driver be 
trapping it at all?
