Subject: Possible problem with Executor and CYRIX DX2/80 CPU

I am a registered user of Executor Linux X Windows (a.out) and have
used for some time know and have used it primarily just to play the games
included with distribution. I recently upgraded my PC with a SCSI CD-ROM
and a CYRIX DX2/80 CPU. After doing this, the 'Ultimate Solitare' demo
stopped working. This is both with p5 and now with a full install of p6.
The symptoms are that it starts up, deals the cards and then executor stops
responding to mouse events. I can still do X stuff and kill executor. The
programs Risk and Lemmings both seem to work fine as well. I'll try to put
my AMD DX40 back in to see if this is really the problem, but I thought I'ld
let people know in case they had seen anything similar. I wonder if there
might be something going on with Cyrix caching and the dynamic recompilation
