>Description:
MXCSR_MASK field of the FXSAVE image is not initialized properly
(en_rsvd3 field, file sys/arch/i386/include/npx.h)
Please see "11.6.6 Guidelines for Writing to the MXCSR Register" in
"Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developers Manual Volume 1"
>How-To-Repeat:
I was able to modify MXCSR in one process under GDB and obtain modified MXCSR
in another process.
Sorry for possibly duplicated report.
>Fix:
Please refer to the documentation for a description of correct MASK
initialization
