linux-2.4.21-fpu.patch

This patch worked for me at i586, i686 and athlon including x86_64 and some 
SMP systems.

A fix for this problem has just been committed to the RHEL3 U3
patch pool this evening (in kernel version 2.4.21-15.11.EL).

I will update this bug report again as soon as a (pre-U3)
security advisory is available.
