Well, I don't use SMP hardware on the problematic machine. Even more
than that: it does only appear on some machines, on others I have never
observed this. And as I wrote: on the machines where it appears I'm
quite successful in suppressing it by running one or two while true; do
bogomips; done loops.
That's why I think it's a race problem.

Well, to be honest: we (my team and me) notice that since quite a long
time (at least 2 years) but since we were never able to reproduce it, we
never wrote a bug report for it. I immediately wrote one when I found
out how to suppress it at least most of the time :)
