SubjectRe: Possible Pentium MMX CPU bug?

> Affected CPUs: only two CPUs were tested so far, a Stepping 7 P54C, and a

Data point: Pentium (classic) 166, kernel compiled -D586, never had
"the Quake problem"...

Curious: should your test program always catch the bug, or might it be
a good idea for people who have seen the Quake problem before to maybe
run the test 1000 times or so if it initially reports "no bug"?
