Someone reported that this went away when their kernel was compiled
for 386 instead of Pentium.  You might try this.  It seems to be
associated with MMX machines.

I noticed there's an squake1.1 out there.  Maybe it's fixed there?
Though if recompiling the kernel fixes it, maybe it's not a quake
problem.
