387 code change?

I have noticed that on my 386sx, in kernels 1.3.7[34], when the kernel
checks 386-387 coupling, it gives '387 failed: trying to reset' and
continues with boot. This does not happen in 1.3.72 and below. Is this
due to a change in the kernel code for the 387? is it my hardware? I
dont know if it has any actual performance difference, as i dont have any
apps to test it with. Any ideas?

system includes: 1.3.7[1-4], 386sx with 387, 4mg/8mg swap, no coprocessor
emulation compiled.
