	On an ATT-6386 running SVR3.2, the 387 problem is 'fixed' by adding
	the following to '/etc/conf/cf.d/stune' and re-building the kernel:

DO387CR3	1

	I haven't worked with the derivative systems and it might be
	different.  If supported, it should be mentioned in "The System
	Administrator's Guide" under Tunable System Parameters: General
	Kernel Parameters ["Mentioned" is all!], and in
	'/etc/conf/cf.d/mtune'.
