Confirmed. _open() does a parport_enable_ not an ENABLE_IRQ. This used to work before we went to counting enable/disable but now gets caught properly. Fix seems good.

Thanks Alan, even though it took sooo long that I have given up using a plip already:) Just curious why this bug was not noticed and fixed for all these years long by someone else - it makes plip completely unusable. Probably noone uses plip any more...
