>Description:
TME asserts immediately in fb-xlat-auto.c upon console window creation.  If the 
assertion is ignored, the console window continues and console text appears 
normally - although the font is poorly rendered and the characters difficult to 
read.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
I didn't create a patch to comment out the assertion, because the assertions 
might be useful running on an Intel/AMD host.  And as floating point doesn't 
work with ultrasparc (problem 35347), it seems best to restrict TME usage to 
Intel/AMD hosts, but if you're using an ultrasparc, commenting out the 
assertion seems a reasonable workaround.
