Very odd how you can reproduce it - now on two machines - but it doesn't
seem to happen for others. You've tried different compilers, you've tried
different config options, what the heck is left?

And it's not like Core 2 Duo is an "odd" setup. Even any timer differences
should have been largely flushed out with HIGH_RES_TIMERS=y/n.

Is there *anything* odd about those machines?
