Yes, it is a nice expressive name, but my expertise is in network
protocols not in video drivers.  I don't know what Katmai is, why I need
it, why its not in my Red Hat kernel, where to find it, or why the lack
of it is crashing every OpenGL application on my computer.  If this
function is expected to create a SIGFPE, why isn't it trapped and
handled?

I'd love to. Unfortunately the applications have already segfaulted and
are long gone. :-(
