Go for it!  If you want to work on something, please do!  In this case,
try writing Ken Nakata, Scott Reynolds, or Allen Briggs and see if they
can describe what they believe the problem is (I think it has something to
do with FP moves).  Of course, you'll either need an 'LC040 machine and a
machine to actually build kernels on, or else get someone to test or build
for you....

Later.
