Hello All.

I'm doing some tests on IRQ hooking, and I've got some strange results. 
The following program (partially copied from PDMLWP sources) on my 
machine, the FIRST time it's run it prints "cnt=1", all the following 
times it prints "cnt=7" or "cnt=8", that's the result I'm expecting...

Can some1 please help me ?
