Yes, but it's not the only cause.  We've also seen it on pre-SMPng
stuff, and Athlons seem to be particularly capable of doing it.  phk
is looking at it at the moment, and he has an idea what's causing it.

I'd guess, however, that this *is* the SMPng problem.  It's subtly
different from other manifestations in that the first time typically
has 7 digits after the decimal point.
