[Ltib] Core Duo T7250 Model 15 stepping 13

[John Jeffers]

Using openSuSE 10.3 ia32 arch kernel 2.6.22.17-0.1 on ltib line 1193 
parse in bison to build flex (parse.c) segment faulted each and every 
time on a Dell Precision M4300. Core Duo T7250 Model 15 stepping 13

Using openSuSE 10.3 x86_64 kernel 2.6.22.17-0.1 Nvidia 193.x.x.x driver 
using an identical build and update level but with arch x86_64 for the 
kernel drivers etc. results in correct builds each and every time.

AMD Turion ML34 x86_64 identical kernel ATI video results in correct 
builds all times.

It would appear that the Core Duo errata complained about by the BSD 
team leader a few months ago actually is a big deal.  At least when you 
are a developer.  I suspect I may have run into errata not worked around.

Anyway I had heard of page seg faults before and now I have had one.  
Normally openSuSE would install x86_64 arch on this machine from Version 
10.0 on.

The Dell Precision M4300 is Redhat Enterprise Linux Certified and may be 
bought with RHEL installed.  This one is dual booted with XP PRO and 
openSUSE 10.3
