No.  I just remember when SoftwareFPU put in the hack that disabled it
on '040s and thinking mine hasn't had problems, and a rash of complaints
about 'buggy' LC040's all of a sudden.

Yup, that's like mine, XC68LC040RC20B, mask 02E23G.

Hmm, you have the same mask, and it doesn't work?  I'll have to re-examine

don't remember problems...
