Note that the recent sys/i386/i386/machdep.c (1.540 and 1.541) should be backed out if you're running any FP apps (like, say, X). It somehow messes up the fp context and causes a gpf. Happens to me when I start gnome2. 1.539 more or less works, albeit with the problems I'm compaining about above. Question: Did the "Bezier too big" stuff start when people upgraded their X server port, or when they upgraded their kernel? (I just started running -current on an x86 last week) I have a sneaking suspicion that the fp context is not being saved correctly, which is leading to the Bezier problem.
