You are not alone. I installed the latest rev CMI accelerator (I got a
bunch of them because I wrote their multitasking floating point code).
I found that "pa" would crash if it was  run  from a FFS partition but
would work if it were run from an OFS partition. I've heard of problems
like this before but didn't  believe  the stories. This is one for CBM
to look into.

I finally had to remove the accelerator anyway since even the "latest"
rev causes an increase in the random guru rate (at least in my machine).

Since I've got a bunch of these things, anybody wanna buy one cheap? :-)
