I was able to duplicate the same problem here by running
'comedi_test -t cmd_continuous' and repeatedly running 'comedi_test'
in another window.  Fixing the win_in() and win_out() macros to
properly spinlock seems to fix it.  It conflicts with some other
code that is spinlocking, but that stuff is wrong anyway.  I'll
check it in to CVS after I make sure it works on UP.
