You seem to be following my exact footsteps when I was trying to get
it to work. Look at
http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/bug-hurd/2001-July/004727.html for a fix.
But it's exactly the same thing as you did. oskit documentation
states that this flags should be set if called from an interrupt
handler, but oskit itself (at least version 20000202) does not repect
that.

I think I'll add that to my HOWTO so there would be less confusion.
