:I'm getting this error message printed once every 6 seconds to the console.
:Every 30 seconds I get:

    Did you do a full buildworld/installworld along with the recent
    HEAD ?  This problem is related to older versions of the threaded
    libc overwriting the signal FP save area with the older fsave
    instruction.  The kernel then tries to restore it with the newer
    fxrstr instruction and generates that output.

    This hasn't been a problem in a long time, so I expect your world is
    simply out of sync with your kernel.
