I was working in a shell under the 1.03 beta 4 kernel, and when I pasted a few hundred lines of code, the error "IRQ17 is locking the system, disabled" appeared a few times, then the paste continued at the speed of maybe 1-2cps. I've done this same paste procedure many times before 1.03 with the same setup. It could be a different problem causing this, but I figure I'd report it here to see what that error could mean.
