Our main fileserver is a SuperMicro dual-pIII, I'm out of
town until Friday but I think it is a 370DLE, 933MHz. It has
both venti+fossil running and boots standalone with its own
fossil partition. We have lots of SMP systems.

Make sure you have binaries (including libraries) made recently,
there was a compiler bug over the summer that could perhaps cause
weird things like fp stack underflow.
