Okay, I just got off the phone with AMD tech support.

First, I found that AMD apparantly has a one-year warranty on the K6, not a
30 day warranty.  So Jordan... you should be able to replace the CPU.

I also got a request to have someone send a report to hw.support@amd.com;
this should include informatin like the motherboard, the symptoms, and what
is hoped to be done about it.  (I kept telling the person I was mostly
calling so AMD would be aware of this, that I had been considering getting a
K6 to upgrade my system but simply cannot as long as this is hanging over
the processor's head.)

As I don't know enough about thud, I couldn't really answer all of his
questions, or send the email myself.

I hope this is useful :).

Sean.
