Severe Folding instability.

Ok, what would make Folding really unstable on a dual Opteron system? I mean, it's more stable under SSE than 3DNow!. It isn't overclocked or anything, and I'm stumped.

Here's 3DNow!:
I dumped the SSE log, but I'll have one later. It looks pretty much the same though.

For starters try removing the -forceasm flag.
This appears suspicious.
