Is this with full mix?
Then I would really suspect the save/restore code.
Saving and restoring floating point state can be very tricky.
Do try to find an example in the manual (or possibly in the kernel itself -=
=20
context switch code)
Until this works reliably there is no point in looking for other error=20
sources. You could also try to add code inside the save-resore that destro=
ys=20
all of the floating point registers to be able to spot errors.
