[Linux-ia64] floating-point error

[Bruno Cornec <Bruno.Cornec@hp.com>]

Hello,

We're using Oracle 9iRAC on Linux I2 for a proof of concept and are having
one issue.

Sometimes the Oracle process dies with the following error message:

Apr 17 20:24:48 rx1 kernel: oracle(7148): floating-point assist fault at ip 40000000048b4562

The ip address is always the same. This happens on all of our 4 nodes
as it seems randomly. I do not have other debug info as this is the only
message printed. Some times for the same process the message is printed 
up to 4 times.

Kernel used: 2.4.18-e.25 (RedHat update) based on 2.4.18 + a lot of patches
making it difficult to match with David's releases.

The error message is a printk warning in traps.c.

Any idea on what can cause it, and how we could debug more the context ?
Thanks in advance,

Bruno.
