The people seeing the segfault _all_ seem to have a "P200MMX". As do I
(yes I get the segfault, often not the first time run, but _always_ when
run from cache subsequent times).

Maybe we're looking at a MMX specific hardware bug?? Good old Intel....
Alternatively, the raw speed of a P200MMX is exposing a race condition?
Unlikely however as a P2-300 here was fine (I think).
