about K6 bug

[Eugene Sevinian <sevinian@crdlx2.yerphi.am>]

Hi all,

Recently, there were a lot of post in linux-kernel@vger.rutgers.edu 
concerning new K6 bug. Tests was done by 'crashme'. Here is excerption
from Andreas Haumer <andreas@xss.co.at> report.

#   OS            CPU       result
====================================
11  Linux-2.0     K6        crash
 0  Linux-2.0     K6        no crash
 0  Linux-2.1     K6        crash
 3  Linux-2.1     K6        no crash
 0  Linux-2.0     Pentium   crash
 6  Linux-2.0     Pentium   no crash
 1  Linux-2.0     K6        unclear
=====================================

Sincerly speaking I have now idea how cricual is this, but as far as
I consider K6 as a choice for upgrating my PC, I would like to know how
reliable is this assuming that I have no intention to run this testing
program very often.  

Have someone experienced any serious proplem with this cpu?

TIA,

Eugene Sevinian
