One of the better tests for the mentioned bug is either
ghostscript or blender. Both programs loop forever using loads of
kerneltime. Even with the bug normal integer work is not affected, so not
everybody triggers this one. (Especially since ghostscript can be
compiled, for floating-point-weak pattforms, so there might be some
work-arounds.) On my Jensen this problem with traps.c had to be patched
from 2.2.14 (where I learned, that this is a kernel problem) to 2.2.17
(I have not yet tried 2.2.18).
