Since I've replace the Duron 900 with a Duron 1400 and the PCI VGA with
a AGP VGA, I haven't experienced this problem again. So either, there
was some kind of race condition or it was caused by failing hardware.
I don't think I'll be able to provide any more feedback. Unless someone
suspects this really to be a bug, I'd suggest to simply close this
PR.
