Tried both (with and without CI attached to the knc one)... the result was the 
same.

I know. When I first ran into this problem, I spent -a lot of time- debugging 
it. I tracked it down to the nvidia binary only driver. With the nv driver, I 
wasn't able to cause any vpeirq msgs. Unfortunately I need the binary only 
driver for computer graphics stuff (no gaming). So... once I figured that 
increasing the bufsize to 1410 solves the symptoms, I could live with it.

Tried almost everything to solve the problem itself... but that's another 
topic I guess. :-) [just a note: seems like the nvidia driver holds an 
interrupt for too long when doing a XOrg <-> VT switch]

Interesting. Just tried to cause a corrupt stream there without any luck. But 
that's hardly representative because I don't use windows at all. It's just 
there in case I need it for university or work.

Just did. Attached you find several dumps... one without the CI attached to 
the card (tuned into a FTA channel), a few others with and without the CI 
initialised (but attached to the card). The filename should be
self-explanatory.

Like always, if you need anything, please let me know.

Have a nice sunday,
matthias.
