I didn't commit the fix yet because chuq thinks that's just a

remotely related in the 7400 errata list. He's got a dual 7455 which
doesn't have this problem - his CPUs have L3 cache though, no idea if

Maybe it's L1 cache have different characteristics ?

Both have 32kB instruction and 32kB data cache.

Could it happen that this part of code has already been cached in your
L1 instruction cache at this point of operations, but not on chuq's ?

As far as I know the L1 caches should behave identical on both CPUs.

have fun
