:Ah, so it was our threading lib that was producing the erroneous data?

:That would explain why it happened only for threaded programs (so far) :)

Yup. libc_r was running fnsave (387 format save frame) into the FP
save area of the signal context. The kernel tried to restore it
with fxrstr (SSE format save frame).
Since the kernel now saves and restores the FP state from the signal
context, libc no longer has to do it so ripping the code out of libc
solves the problem.
