If you were running a recent kernel from rawhide, you may want
to re-run these tests, as there was an fpu optimisation in there
that may have been responsible for spurious sigfpe's that some
apps have been getting. If that patch was to blame, then it's
possible there may have been other side-effects.

Todays rawhide has it reverted.
