There seems to be some problems with the Pentium optimizations and K6
processors. If you try to run pov with them enabled (-D586) it will hard
lock the machine.  You have to do a full processor reset (power cycle)
to get it working again.  Has anyone expierienced these problems?

Compiler: gcc 2.7.2.1 and egcs 1.1.2 (tried both)
System: FreeBSD 3.2, FreeBSD 3.3, FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT (I tested this on
a lot of machines :))
Processor: AMD K6-2 @ 350MHZ, AMD K6 @ 300, AMD K6-2 @ 333

It works fine on Intel based systems running FreeBSD... even one dual
processor P166.
