Nope, this is an ongoing issue. What happened was the perf P4 nmi handler
was swallowing all the NMIs. My patch fixed that and exposed a double NMI
problem. We have been chasing it for a couple of months. I think Cyril
was finally able to duplicate it (as he wrote the P4 code). I have
confidence that he will find a fix for it soon. :-)

Thanks for the report though!

Cheers,
Don
