First it is not the cpu. I ran various test programs and the cpu passed. I did some more testing when I decided to submit a bug report. One of the things they wanted was an example of how to reproduce the bug. I cannot reproduce the bug in a stand alone test program. It must be the code int the application I am trying to run, it is Galactic Bloodshed HUT beta if anyone cares. Not exactly a mission critical app, but unsettling none the less. The fact that no other program or tool I received with Fbsd221 fails and I cannot duplicate in a test program restores my confidence somewhat. I still intend to find out why it works on FreeBSD215 but not 221... thanks for the pointers, I will advise when I know more.
