I think I fixed this, and it will be in the next release.

(My home PC had the same problem, so I had to fix it ;-)

PS for GPEs with _Lxx or _Exx methods, we needed to disable the GPE after
queueing a deferred proc, and then re-enable it in that proc. 20020308
clears but does not disable, meaning that another interrupt gets generated
right after the isr completes but before the deferred proc runs, causing a
hang.
