    I will try your patch but it seems unlikely since run_bottom_halves
    is protected by __sti(); / __cli();. Since interrupts are disabled
    I dont see how a timer IRQ could occur while run_bottom_halves is
    executing.

    Sounds like Andrea also has some idea about what might be happening.
