Re: [Xen-devel] Re: Floating Point Exception when compiling w/ gcc

I just tried xen-unstable from 20050302 (I was waiting for it to be
packaged in the fedora development repo), and it's much better - thanks!

However, there is still a less frequent problem with ptrace (which also
occurred even when I'd applied my workaround patch). When running
firefox under gdb only, display corruption and odd crashes in
floating-point code are seen - which are the same symptoms as I had before.

So I assume that something is still wrong with the floating-point
save/restore in the case where a process is being ptraced.

Does this bug still exhibit if you add in your patch to always set CR0_TS on task switch?
