Is there anything in Ompi which is likely to cause one of the MMX
routines to be interrupted in such a way that the MMX state is not
saved?  The bugs that arise when emms is not invoked after an MMX run
can be very strange.  Grasping at straws here though, presumably both
the OS and MPI (it it does this at all) preserve the state of all
registers when swapping processes around on a machine.
