I have a couple of 2.3.99 people reporting that after many hours use,
the 3c59x PCI network driver stops generating interrupts.
Everything looks OK on the NIC. I noticed a comment from Don Becker:

This supports my suspicion that it's not a 3c59x problem, and that the
machine's interrupt routing has got itself screwed up.
Can someone please suggest how we can confirm this theory?
If we were to bind a sysreq key to print_local_APIC() would that produce
enough information?
One machine is a uniprocessor BP6 running an SMP kernel.
The other machine is described at

Thanks.
