Ok, not much we can do about openGL. Incidently, I don't get those messages when I connect to fisher from my home computer...

There is another software trap I noticed though. If you run manta and then look in dmesg, you'll see it's getting:
manta(13450): floating-point assist fault at ip 4000000000018181, isr 0000020000000008
errors on fisher.

I tried passing -ftz when compilling, but I still get these messages which means either I did something wrong, it's not denormalized numbers, or it's in some outside library. Any idea on these? I read that each software trap costs abouts 1000 instr...

This happens with OpenGL. It doesn't affect anything that I can tell in using the port for over 2 years. Just disregard it.

I'm guessing this is causing a performance hit...

I have ccmake using ipcp and icc to compile the code, but aside from that I believe I'm using the default settings for everything else. Any ideas why this might be happening?
