    2.2.17-pre2 and later cause parallel IO corruption in a UP system

    [2.]
    2.2.17-pre2 and 2.2.17-pre3 cause IO corruption when talking to Laserjet4L
    through lp -> parport (under /usr/sbin/tunelp -c 1 -T on -q off and
    interrupt-driven IO, EPP/ECPEPP/SPP port). 2.2.17-pre1 works correctly.
    I don't know if the bug shows up under SMP.

    Kernel compiled with gcc 2.7.2.3 under Debian Woody, NOT 2.95.2! I changed
    the Makefile to call gcc272.

    parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778), irq 7, dma 3 [SPP,ECP,ECPEPP,ECPPS2]
    parport_probe: succeeded
    parport0: Printer, Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 4L
    lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven).
