Me too :)
I have a small change that can be used if performace suffers too badly,
it has not provoked the problem again on any of the systems I've
tried it on so far.:

This patch is specific for VIA K[TX]133 northbridges together with
the 686B southbridge. There might be issues with other new VIA
chipsets that uses the 686B or derivatives, but I have no way to
test that as I dont have any of that HW here in the lab.
