Aha.

There's one thing I will try to test myself (if I am able to): disable 
the halt instruction in the CPU idle loop and see if that fixes this. I 
enabled that for dual CPU systems and since then it doesn't work here 
anymore on that system of mine. I enabled that on Axel's directions 
though and I would not have suspected this to be a problem.

Of course, there can be a lot of other things giving trouble for us, 
but this should be testable at least.
