Hi!

I just replaced my amd486 to UMC U5S cpu, and VSTA -say- not works
really well. When program exits, it in sometimes (70% on first program
to exit, much less than, really strange) raises following 'assertion
failed':

                        ASSERT_DEBUG(a->a_flags & ATL_CACHE,
                                "pset_free: non-cache ref");

The cpu is rather strange (althrough it seems to work well with
linux). I would like to ask where is TLB invalidation being done? I
did not found that place.

One more question: This CPU does not have FPU. Is it problem? I know
there's no emulation, but is missing FPU likely causing assertion
failed when logging in?

(This is linux /proc/cpuinfo:)
