    hi

    I was writing some code at the ethernet layer,
    mainly changing the if_ethersubr.c for my work.

    I am not using any FP instructions in my code.
    But while running, my kernel crashes and gives the following panic msg:
    npx is the Floating point unit (fpu).

    ----------------------------------
    npxintr: npxproc = 0 , currproc = 0, npx_exists = 1
    panic: npxintr from nowhere
    ---------------------------------

    I am running this code on FreeBSD 4.10.
    The same code runs fine on FreeBSD 5.2.1, but i want
    to use FreeBSD 4.10.

    Has anybody ever got such message or they know the fix for it.
    I was not able to trace the error...even using kernel debug corefiles.
    Your help would be highly appreciated.

    thanks in advance
