Re: [3.3/3.4/4.0/4.1] IA-64 FP register file corruption on unwind

You have to have about 18 or so FP variables live at the point where the
exception is thrown and caught, or else you won't be able to see the

probably very little heavy FP code using exceptions.

Actually, AFAIK the code in question didn't use FP, the FP registers where used to spill integer registers.
