I don't know, AFAIK segfaults are related to memory that isn't
allocated to an app, this state might change. I'm even not sure if the
segfaults I got for the CPU missing a version of sse are related to sse
or simply an additional memory related issue caused it. Instead of
guessing without the knowledge, a coder should chime in ;).
