--- Comment #63 from Don Lewis <truckman@FreeBSD.org> ---
(In reply to Nils Beyer from comment #61)
Hard to say ...

If it is something triggered by context switches and is well understood, it
might be possible to add some synchronization code in that path as a
workaround.

It might be a slow path through some logic that was missed by AMD's test
procedures.  My testing does seem to indicate that there could be a sensiti=
vity
to the core clock speed, but it doesn't seem to be a sharp edge, and it also
doesn't seem to be temperature sensitive.  Doing a better job of testing sh=
ould
catch the bad chips, at the possible expense of throwing out a lot of them.=
  It
might be possible to work around that in microcode by allowing more time for
the signals propagate.

It could also be some sort of other signal integrity problem, which should =
also
be possible to catch in test, but would be more difficult to work around.

In either of these cases, the best long term fix is a new stepping.
