I'm aware of the reports. Its very hard to figure out what might be
involved. Later 2.4 kernels we have fixed the odd possible candidate where
segment registers or LDT propogation on SMP might go awry but nothing that
really explains the X11 ones and whether they are PCI/AGP setup , power
management or kernel bug triggered
