Okay, I edited my test case changing the asm to "membar #Sync; stda %%f0, [%0] 0xf0; membar #Sync". That should be entirely over-doing it, right? Problem still occurs within seconds.

And, don't forget Problem #2 -- which didn't even involve weird ASIs at all (at least, not in the test task itself).

Gah! Thanks for testing it on your setup!...but that's really unfortunate that you can't reproduce the problem!

What distro are you running? Maybe I should try the same thing you're using...

Anyone else reading this able to reproduce problems with my test program (or not?)--
