Is this 'problem' a performance problem (code not being able to use the FPU 
occasionally and hence sporadically performing poorly), or some sort of actual 
stability/correctness problem?

Also, what CPU does the test system have, Intel or AMD? The FPU behavior can be 
very different in the two cases.

Third, could you post such a problematic stack trace?

Thanks,

	Ingo
