This may result in penalty for execution times up to 100% with intel processors and 30% with AMD procs. Try http://people.freebsd.org/~jmz/slow_fp.sh for a script demonstrating the bug and look at http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=438552+441872+/usr/local/www/db/text/2000/freebsd-current/20000507.freebsd-current for a discussion and a fix.
