You can mix PII and PIII processors in

Looks like a buffer overrun or memory corruption. Are you trying to

At the time the code was written (fall 1999?) the only way Gareth found
that he could reliably determine that SSE was fully supported (by CPU
and kernel) was to try executing an SSE instruction and catching the
exception if it failed.
If there's a better way of doing that nowadays, we could u
