Well, consider the case where an interrupt is stuck on. That is a possible cause, and it can be positively excluded by either disabling local interrupts around the time stamps or by putting the vector events into the trace. (Doesn't matter now that bisection fingered the PCIe setup, just sayin.) Thanks, Richard
