There was a minor bug that was fixed some months ago.  In repeated compiles, 
it would attempt to execute an occasional instruction twice.  THis has been 
fixed, and all of the current chips do not have this problem.  the change 
occurs at stepping b9733 or so.  If set to compile 100 times, it would 
typically fail on a few.

Also, there were some problems with people not supplying proper voltages, etc. 
 Many older motherboards don't support the k6 voltages.
