Comment 339 for bug 204996

At first my machine (Intel Core2 Quad CPU) was perfectly stable since november '08. The machine was up 24/7 and also running 4 instances folding@home.
But when I started to use folding@home with the -smp switch I got random lockups.
The machine is not overclocked and in both cases the machine is under high CPU load, so overheating or other hardware related issues shouldn't be the cause of the lockups. I guess the lockups are related to MPI (which is turned on in folding@home with -smp switch.)
