I found a hint that there could be something wrong with the nvidia 
driver: If I start the second X server I always get a segfault, but 
after  that the interrupt table looks like above. The nvidia driver does 
not release the interrupt. If I start the second X server again it 
hangs. Of course. Again...damn closed source :-((
