O.K.

I've found the reason for the issue.
After exchanging the newer
src/sys/i386/include/cpufunc.h,v 1.142.6.1 2005/05/13 00:12:57
src/sys/i386/i386/mp_machdep.c,v 1.235.2.6.2.3 2005/05/13 00:12:56
from 5.4-RELEASE-p1 by the old

src/sys/i386/include/cpufunc.h,v 1.142 2004/04/07 20:46:05
src/sys/i386/i386/mp_machdep.c,v 1.235.2.6.2.2 2005/05/01 05:38:13
from 5.4-RELEASE the issue disappeared.

Only if someone cares - the cpu:
Mobile Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.06GHz (3059.22-MHz 686-class CPU) with HT
Kernel SMP option enabled.

Regards,
Lukas
