Thanks! Snagged.

Hmm, interesting. Well, the impression I got from looking at cached
google-html-ified versions of the MIPS PDFs was that there was no
solution, only workarounds. If that's not the case, then I'm glad I
managed to make an ass of my self thanks to the magic of poorly-rendered
incoherent semi-views of said docs. In any case, I'll look into it
more, for all I know, this points in the direction of my atomic ops
code being börken. (Not out of the question.)

Hm, ok. I think there was some stuff on techpubs a while ago, but
when I went to check around last week, all I could find was maybe
Heinrich's R4K user's manual. And plenty of MIPSIV stuff. I was
probably just lost :) I'll look around on the main FTP. Thanks
for the pointer :)
Thanx,
juli.
