'AMD has pledged to fix three bugs in its Opteron chips that, if
unremedied, could cause host systems to crash in certain circumstances.
In a June 2004 Opteron and Athlon 64 Revision Guide (PDF), the chip
maker lists three processor glitches - known in the trade as 'errata' -
that could mean the "system may hang".'
