I've tried running two copies of fptest concurrently to see if there was some rare race with fp save/restore, but they've been running in a loop for a couple of hours now without any problems. I've also tried having two domains on the same CPU use FP, again no problem. As you surmise, the problem may be due to the drivers for your graphics card. I think it must be fairly specific to your setup otherwise I think we'd have seen it before. Are you using agpgart? Can you get your graphics card working without it?
