It is not unusual for a previously hidden and "benign" bug to surface when
you switch to a new architecture (hardware or software). I can remember
when we switched from CISC to RISC UNIX systems at work and uninitialized
or otherwise dirty pointers surfaced like crazy. Take this opportunity to
find and fix the problem rather than reverting systems and ignoring the
message.
