Well I fired up the Pentium 4
	/dev/sda1 has gone 1457 days without being checked

and eventually got it up to date (running "git pull" in a 5-year old Linux 
tree plus running "apt-get dist-upgrade" at the same time was maybe a 
mistake on a system with 1GB of RAM).

Anyway I have it fuzzing current git and surprisingly while it's hit a few 
WARNINGs and some NMI dazed+confused messages it hasn't actually crashed 
yet.  Not sure if I want to let it fuzz overnight if I'm not here though.

Shame on Intel though for not providing perf JSON files for the 
Pentium 4 event names.
