Strange interrupts

I'm running 2.2.6 on a little old 486 box. I get the following
output from procinfo:

<not-important stuff snipped>
...
irq 0: 9862714 timer irq 6: 3
irq 1: 1521 keyboard irq 8: 1 rtc
irq 2: 0 cascade [4] irq 13: 0 fpu
irq 4: 11 serial irq 14: 408675 ide0
irq 5: 65670 NE2000 irq 129: 362608

And /proc/interrupts looks like this:

CPU0
0: 9928497 XT-PIC timer
1: 1521 XT-PIC keyboard
2: 0 XT-PIC cascade
4: 11 XT-PIC serial
5: 65850 XT-PIC NE2000
8: 1 XT-PIC rtc
13: 0 XT-PIC fpu
14: 408767 XT-PIC ide0
NMI: 0

I don't know where the irq 129 and irq 6 are coming from. Is this
just a problem with procinfo? It showed the same thing with 2.3.10
also. Lately the machine has been crashing with no signs and I haven't
changed anything. The only thing this machine does is serve a few
files through NFS. Does anyone know where these strange IRQs are coming
from?

Thanks.
