Thanks for testing this! I'm running most of my tests with a dual core
system, so SMP is being used, but with two cores, not two separate
chips. I don't think there should be much difference there, but
certainly our hardware configuration is different.

Could you please describe your hardware with more details so that we can
see whether we could find a similar system to try to reproduce this? Is
this the IBM 206 eserver with WMP300N you mentioned in an earlier
message in the thread? That seems to be (by default) a uni-processor
setup, so I would like to make sure we understand what is the exact
hardware used here since I do not think we have been able to reproduce
this type of issue so far in any dual core systems.
