I ran some stress tests and start to get this warning.  It appears to be
generated in do_fpe() routine.  See below.  I wonder why this is
happening.  Can someone explain what is going on?  Thanks.

        ....
        if (fcr31 & 0x20000) {

                if (!(fcr31 & (1<<24))) {

                        fcr31 &= ~0x20000;
