More logs on the fire:

From the Webster's New Collegiate, (c) 1981:

kludge [origin unknown]:  a system, and especially a computer system made up
of compnents that are poorly matched or were originally intended for some
other use.

And while we're at it,

irregardless [probably blend of irrespective and regardless] _nonstandard_:
regardless.

So my Webster's seems to be up to date.  And, Helen Anne, perhaps you might
stick with your AHD -- they're all listing nonstandard words, it would seem.
