It's always been a problem; we don't understand the mechanics of it 
however.  Susceptibility varies widely between systems, and the best 
hypothesis I've been able to come up with is that there are issues with 
taking interrupts in vm86 mode; possibly the BIOS is being re-entered in 
a fashion it doesn't like.
