I haven't reported this to the linux-kernel folks yet, but I have a
system (Asus M2V dual-core Athlon) whose audio device gets assigned an
IRQ of 8410 in 2.6.18-rc5-mm1. (Works fine in rc4-mm3, getting assigned
an IRQ of 17.) This causes irqbalance to segfault at line 108 of
procinterrupts.c because interrupts[irqnumber] goes off into space,
since irqnumber is larger than MAX_INTERRUPTS (256).
Would it be worthwhile to add a sanity check on the irqnumber read up
from /proc/interrupts?
