Hey gang - I have what seems to be two seperate issues on Mips/Linux
(cobalt boxes).

1) Programs using doubles with pthreads get corrupted data in the
doubles.
2) Floats and va_arg crash with an FPE

below are two snippets that show these, at least on our boxes.  If
someone could confirm or deny their existence on any other platform?
