Software Emulation Exception...

Hi everyone,

I was hoping you all would pass some knowledge on to me.  Occasionally our
application dies and our board goes into a loop of printing

"Software Emulation %s/%d NIP: %lx *NIP: 0x%x code: %x"

which is coming from arch/ppc/traps.c,

would the fact that I have kernel math emulation turned on increase the
chances of this error.  Without KME the Soft_emulate_8xx routine gets called
and I didn't know if that handled this a little bit better.

Thanks,
Jason
