Well, I have to admit that this bug does occur on my Sun Blade 100 (with 2 almost identical ati mach 64 cards), but not on my Sun Ultra 5 (with only 1 ati mach 64 card that is slightly different than the one in the blade 100). The bug also doesn't occur on a Sun Ultra 5 at my friend's place, but iirc, it does occur on an Ultra 5 or Ultra 10 from someone else, so I'm a bit sceptical to say that U5's are not affected. The fact that the debug server doesn't show the bug could indicate that it's a timing issue, but to be honest, I am a terrible programmer and I wouldn't know how to start debugging this issue. I hope this could be useful for someone, and if he/she needs more information/testing, I'd happy volunteer. Admar
