This is a "known issue", from time to time you do get bogus readings on
all three numbers. Normally the bogus reading is 0, though you appear
to be seeing 1 as well.
I suspect this is the same problem that causes audio to garble when
there is traffic on the 100-base-T ethernet prot. It is the 553 ISA
bridge chip.
There was a report that a small timing delay mostly fixes the audio
driver, if this turns out to be correct, it may work for the therm
device as well.
