 Hi.
 Thank you for your reply and consideration on the problem.
 
 The problem still exist. It seems to be K6-2/III specific, and
 won't happen on the pentium based machines.
 For intensive use on FPU of the K6-2/III seemingly often cause
 the problem, I might think, it might be a critical path or any
 other timing problem of the proccessor than a software bug.
 I think we have nothing to do for the problem by a software.
 Slowing the proccessor clock down much may be a help which I do
 not want to do. Forget the old K6-2/III and use latest proccessor
 may be a best way. 
 Thank you.
